Night and Fog
In 1955, French filmmaker Alain Resnais made one of the first documentaries to tackle the Holocaust.  It was neither a history nor an in-depth study; rather, it was a series of visual reflections by a Frenchman on the atrocities of a decade earlier. In it, he weaves contemporary images of the "serene" abandoned concentration camps with newsreel footage of the atrocities. Great care should be taken in utilizing this video in educational settings because of the graphic images. Still, this remains one of the greatest film documentaries of all time.
