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.

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.
