A new reality TV show named Concentration surpasses all that has ever been broadcast: a reproduction of concentration camps, with kapos and prisoners, with forced work, humiliation, violence and death. And oh do people watch.

Oddly efficient, not one unnecessary word, this is such a twisted idea but so brilliantly explored. And like the author, I believe that were there a show like this, people would definitely watch.
