Holocaust Remembrance Day: 10 films about the Holocaust
Holocaust Remembrance Day is one of the most important international anniversaries of all. Remembering the horrors of the Holocaust and the Nazi-fascist persecutions are the duty of every person who wishes that certain things never happen again.
Much is done by culture in this sense, thanks to testimonies of survivors, meetings, works of art but I am alone. Even cinematography has done and continues to do so much to keep alive the memory of those who have suffered unspeakable horrors.
Movies are the most powerful visual medium of our time, and on this occasion we want to remember the 10 best films that told the Holocaust.
