One film that had a very profound effect on me was "The Diary of Anne Frank". I was only twelve or thirteen years old when I viewed it which made me relate even more to the life of a fourteen year old child.
I had heard the normal short history versions of the Holocaust at school, but watching that film made it real for me. I remember crying when the family was discovered by the Nazis. Something a young teenage boy would hate to admit.
Understanding what one family went through during that time in history emphasizes the total madness of what occurred.
If any story puts an exclamation on the phrase "Never Again!", it's Anne Frank's.
Thank you for posting this.

The article seemed to have an agenda to me and didn't communicate much of what you remembered and thought was important.
