Film and documentaries on Auschwitz and the Holocaust
I am very sensitive when it comes to talking about the holocaust. After my first visit to Poland in 2015, I wrote one of my most dear articles on this site, where I am talking about the shocking numbness reaction that I had during Visit Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps.
I am not Jewish and I have no direct link with this tragedy, but for any reason, after watching one of the films that I am enumerating here when I was just a child, I became very interested in the subject like I wanted to understand how such madness could have occurred in a “civilized world” elsewhere.

I have read so many books, probably watched all the possible films (fictitious and based on real stories) and documentaries on the holocaust during all these years. I am so attached to them that I have a paper copy of the books and a DVD for each film with my parents in Sardinia and a Kindle copy for books and a downloaded films on my hard drive when I travel.
I think they could teach people a lot. On life, endurance, suffering, moral values, hope and despair. But above all, they will give you an idea of what the human mind is capable.
This is why I felt the need to create this list, making a careful selection of what I consider as the most touching, important and informative equipment that exists on the Holocaust.
If you are Plan a visit to Auschwitz Or not, I believe that reading books and watching movies and documentaries will somehow enrich your life.
If you want to visit the concentration camps, I strongly recommend that you take a look at my suggestions and, after the visit, you will probably feel the need (just as I did) to read and look at all the equipment again and again, realize that you now see things in a completely different way.
There were tears before visiting Auschwitz, but I can’t even start to describe the empty hole in my chest when I reread these books and review these films crying. Knowing that I have traveled the path and hit the ground where millions of people died in such a inhuman way.
Below, I selected the films, books and documentaries that have the most dear to me and you should also have.
