Line 51:

* In the ''[[Outer Limits]]'' episode "Tribunal", history professor and Holocaust scholar Aaron Zgierski is taken back to Auschwitz by time-traveller Nicholas Prentice (who turns out to be Zgierski's own great-grandson). While there, they rescue Aaron's "older" sister (who is only eight at the time), who history records as being executed in a gas chamber, into the future to live out her life free of Nazi oppression.

** They also do the reverse with the man Aaron is trying to expose in the present as a former Nazi camp guard. Future history records that right before his arrest he fled the country and was never seen again. He disappeared because Aaron and Prentice kidnapped him and left him in the past dressed as a Auschwitz prisoner where his past self executes him.

** A later episode shows that the time travel agency Nicholas Prentice works for recruits via [[Time Travel Escape]]; they take the potential recruit to the future seconds before they would have died, then offers them a choice between joining or being sent back to their death.
