PBS broadcast this under the title of “Memories of the Camps” maybe a dozen or so years ago. I made a copy on video tape and showed it to my eighth-grade history classes for many years. I told them they were going to visit hell. The English teacher had them reading “The Diary of Anne Frank” at about the same time. She died at Bergen-Belsen about a month before the Brits liberated the camp. Her last moments in this world are what you see in this film. I figured my students would live most of their lives after the living memory of the Holocaust was over and they needed to remember what had happened. Every kid—no matter how “cool”—was moved by what he or she saw in this film.

Thank you for educating your students. I doubt if Common Core includes this type of history.

If you want to show your students “Part 2”, lookup “Night and Fog” on youtube.
