I think the subject Maureen is looking for is specifically America and the Holocaust. Kino has a title that is over 30 years old but was one the first on the topic called WHO SHALL LIVE AND WHO SHALL DIE which is directly on point though I imagine there are newer ones on the topic of the US governments failure to help and the politics within the American Jewish community. Features like THE PAWNBROKER and SOPHIE'S CHOICE would be options.
In the shameless plug department I would mention NUREMBERG ITS LESSON FOR TODAY which was made by the US government and then suppressed. Among the extras are 3 other films made by the US government about the Holocaust used at the trial and 2 made after.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
