When teaching the Holocaust, film can be one of the most compelling, yet complicated educational tools available for a talented educator. Yet with so many documentary and feature films available on the topic, how are teachers supposed to decide what will work best for their students? In this series, co-sponsored by the NYU Center for the Study of Antisemitism and the Museum of Jewish Heritage, we will review appropriate criteria for choosing films to teach about the Holocaust, and suggest documentary and feature films that are appropriate and effective pedagogical tools.
