From the USHMM - The National Institute for Holocaust Education of the USHMM announces the release of a short (38 minute) film about the Nazis’ rise and consolidation of power in Germany, now available for viewing on our website. Using rare footage, the film explores their ideology, propaganda, and persecution of Jews and other victims. It also outlines the path by which the Nazis and their collaborators led a state to war and to the murder of millions of people. By providing a concise overview of the Holocaust and those involved, this resource is intended to provoke reflection and discussion about the role of ordinary people, institutions, and nations between 1918 and 1945. We have found this film to be a helpful way to introduce the topic with our off-site audiences, and would be useful with both teachers and students in the classroom. The film can be accessed via the following link: ushmm.org/learn/introduction-to-the-holocaust/path-to-nazi-genocide . The link also provides links to the information for student section of the website, as well as links to our online timeline of events, Holocaust and related maps, and Holocaust encyclopedia. For those who cannot stream films from the internet in their classrooms, there is also an online request for to request a copy of the film in DVD format. We hope you will make use of this valuable resource in your work.
