Shoah (1985)
Director Claude Lanzmann spent 11 years on this sprawling documentary about the Holocaust, conducting his own interviews and refusing to use a single frame of archival footage. Dividing Holocaust witnesses into three categories – survivors, bystanders, and perpetrators – Lanzmann presents testimonies from survivors of the Chelmno concentration camp, an Auschwitz escapee, and witnesses of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, as well as a chilling report of gas chambers from an SS officer at Treblinka.

Po-lin. Shards of Memory (2008)
Unique archives show a world that no longer exists: pre-war Poland in which two cultures: Jewish and Polish, coexisted wall-in-wall; cottage in a cottage; town next to town. "Po-lin" - meaning "we will stop here" in Yiddish - does not deny the painful past. It only shows that there was something more next to them. Worth remembering and - perhaps - reconstruction.

The Children of Tehran
The film follows the hitherto untold story of around 700 Jewish children during World War II: from their escape from Occupied Poland to their final destination of Palestine in 1943, at the end of their long and arduous journey across the USSR and Tehran. Their arrival in the country was one of the local Jewish community's first ever encounters with a group of Holocaust survivors on a scale so large. Through archive footage and the children's video testimonials (who, at the time of filming, were already adults), a light is at last shone on the far lesser known tale of 'the children of Tehran' - yet another piece of the chilling puzzle that is the memory of the Holocaust. This film is the only documentation of this heroic affair.
