The Holocaust:  As Seen through the Eyes of a Survivor (30 min.) - "This program reveals the determination, hope, and spirit that was needed to survive the Holocaust. David Bergman, survivor of Auschwitz, Dachau, and Gross- Rosen concentration camps, personalizes his experiences. Having immigrated to the U.S. as a teenager after World War II, he urges stringent protection of our democratic freedoms, and the freedom in other countries, so as not to allow a repetition of the atrocities he has personally experienced. A compelling and moving media adjunct to World History units on the issues and events of World War II, particularly the human cost of the war in terms of the Nazi policy of enslavement and extermination of individuals and groups of people considered "undesirable", leading to the Final Solution and the Holocaust: the systematic murder of over 6 million Jews and over 5 million non-Jewish civilians"

The Holocaust:  In Memory of Millions (54 min.) - "Students will peer into WWII history as never before. Give them a rare moment with Walter Cronkite, as he shares personal photographs from his coverage of the Holocaust. Students hear interviews with concentration camp survivors and the soldiers who liberated them. Archival film footage and memorabilia let students witness the war, and determine for themselves its lasting impact."

One Human Spirit (23 min.) - "features 25 different testimonies from Holocaust survivors and witnesses recorded by the Shoah Foundation. These eyewitnesses describe their lives before, during, and after the Holocaust. Their memories are punctuated by thought-provoking quotes from historical figures. By illustrating the importance of individual experience, this video encourages discussions of personal responsibility in the context of history and building a more tolerant future. Each video includes a teacher's booklet with classroom activities. . . Produced by the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation."

Witness:  Voices from the Holocaust (1 hour 28 min.) - ""Witness: Voices from the Holocaust" is a prize-winning documentary, nationally broadcast by PBS in which testimonies of Holocaust survivors and witnesses – some recorded as early as 1979 – archival footage, and personal photographs and documents reveal the Nazi era through the memories of those who were there."
