Holocaust Remembrance Day - January 27 - Movies and Books to Remember With

Holocaust Remembrance Day is coming up.  We tend to like to study the Holocaust on that day, or even on the week leading up to it because I hope that if we understand how such a thing was allowed to happen once, we can stop it from ever happening again!

Here are some of our favorite movies, and books that we feel have helped us understand the Holocaust better and World War 2 better.
