Shoah
Schindlers List
The Conspiracy - a disgustingly compelling film about the meeting at Wannsee where a group of second-tier bureaucrats sat down to dinner with Himmler's sidekick Heydrich and planned the deaths of millions. If you've ever wondered how educated, western men could do such vile things - this is part of the answer.
Night and Fog (also known as "Nuit et brouillard") filmed at Auschwitz in 1955 using a lot of wartime archive footage.
