 |  Best Holocaust Movie? Many movies about the Holocaust have come out through the years. They give us a small scope of what the Holocaust was like and its brutality. What's the most memorable Holocaust movie you guys have seen? I've seen a couple Holocaust movies edited such as: Everything Is Illuminated, The Pianist, and part of Schindler's List. I hope that the Holocaust will never be forgotten and denied like it is so much today.

 | The US miniseries from 1978 called the The Holocaust was good, if you can find it. "Holocaust" (1978) (mini) |

| For me it has to be The Pianist and Schindler's List. They both are very powerful.

| The Pianist I found such a powerful experience it kept me awake in bed aferwards for hours...before it came out, I would have said Schindler's List.

| Schindler's List for me. Such a thoughtful film. The little girl in red just breaks my heart ever time.

| SHOAH. There is some debate about what type of film it is, about how it may have been edited, but to me everything else on the subject is pale in comparison. Secretly filmed interviews with an SS Officer and personal accounts of survivors ... Shoah (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia dbf

| Totally agree, SHOAH. Very moving and informative. Although i think it is classed as a documentary, and about 8hours long if i remember. Definately one to watch.
