- DirectorGordon J. MurrayStarsSusanne Severeid60-minute t.v. documentary follows the surviving adult twins of infamous Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele's experiments at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. This group of survivors, led by Mrs. Eva Mozes Kor, formed a support group called C.A.N.D.L.E.S, Children of Auschwitz Nazi's Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors, and speak here of their trauma and personal stories. The documentary follows the survivors as they visit Auschwitz, many for the first time since the War. This documentary also covers the mock Inquest in Jerusalem raising serious questions as to whether or not the bones found in Brazil were indeed those of Dr. Josef Mengele.
- DirectorMira Reym BinfordThousands of Jewish children lived in the Polish city of Bendzin before the Holocaust. Barely a dozen survived the community's destruction. Through interviews and rare archival film and photos, this critically-acclaimed documentary tells the story of three of these children-Ada, Shulamit, and the filmmaker herself, Mira. These women recount their memories of a childhood spent hiding from the Nazis and reflect on the courage of those individuals and families who helped them survive. The film thus not only documents a tragic historical period but also examines the complexity of human nature, undermining stereotypes about the behavior of Jews, Poles, and even some Germans during the era. The film's story involves Alfred Rossner, a German businessman who, like Oskar Schindler, employed forced Jewish labor and saved Jewish lives, but who, unlike Schindler, was not a Nazi Party member and paid with his life for his actions.

- DirectorHans BurgerBilly WilderStarsAnton ReimerOriginally made with a German soundtrack for screening in occupied Germany and Austria, this film was the first documentary to show what the Allies found when they liberated the Nazi extermination camps: the survivors, the conditions, and the evidence of mass murder. The film includes accounts of the economic aspects of the camps' operation, the interrogation of captured camp personnel, and the enforced visits of the inhabitants of neighboring towns, who, along with the rest of their compatriots, are blamed for complicity in the Nazi crimes - one of the few such condemnations in the Allied war records.

- DirectorAlan AdelsonKate TavernaStarsJerzy KosinskiTheodore BikelJulie CohenThe Polish city of Lodz was under Nazi occupation for nearly the entire duration of WWII. The segregation of the Jewish population into the ghetto, and the subsequent horrors of the occupation are vividly chronicled through newsreels and photographs. The narration is taken almost entirely from journals and diaries of those who lived--and died--through the course of the occupation, with the number of different narrators diminishing over the course of the film, symbolic of the death of each narrator.
- DirectorAlan AdelsonStarsAlan AdelsonWhen the film "Lodz Ghetto" (1989) was released on video in 1992, director Alan Adelson added a brief postscript that described the making of the original documentary. This sequel includes moving interviews with actual survivors of the Lodz Ghetto.

- DirectorAllan HolzmanStarsSteven SpielbergHenry RosmarinHellmuth SzprycerThis documentary blends personal accounts of what happened before, during and after WWII.

Woven together with survivor testimonies, archival footage, original music, source music and survivors' personal photographs and artifacts, the documentary will show the richness of life before the war, the rise and fall of Nazi power, the liberation of the camps and life now, 50 years later, all as seen through the eyes of those who survived.
