Recommended Films:

Border Street This film is a recreation of the doomed Warsaw Ghetto uprising in which a small but heroic band of Jews, herded into a ghetto by German occupation forces, chose to resist the Nazis rather than face deportation to Auschwitz or Treblinka.

Carpati: 50 Miles, 50 Years Focuses on ZEV GODINGER, a Jewish ice cream man of the Carpathian Mountains, a self-described "proste" (ordinary) Jew who has a special friendship with his Rom (Gypsy) neighbors.

Schindler's List Oskar Schindler uses Jews to start a factory in Poland during the war. He witnesses the horrors endured by the Jews, and starts to save them.

Terezin Diary Focuses on Helga Kinsky who, with nine other survivors, describes the eerie paradoxes of life as children in the model (Terezin) ghetto.

A Painful Reminder Filmed during the liberation of the camps, this film shows what the Nazis tried to hide.

Transport from Paradise A powerful depiction of day to day life in the Terezin ghetto.

Kitty: A Return to Auschwitz One woman’s confrontation with the past as she revisits the camp where she spent two years.
