11 Powerful Films for Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day

Stories That Bear Witness

Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day – is not just about remembering history. It’s about confronting it. Feeling it. Passing it on.

There are many ways to honor this day: lighting a candle, saying a name, learning something new. One powerful option is through film. Stories can shake us awake, open our hearts, and remind us what’s at stake.

In this reel, I’ve rounded up 11 films that honor the lives, losses, resistance, and legacy of the Jewish experience of the Holocaust. Some are haunting. Some are hopeful. All are worth your time.

May the memory of the 11 million murdered by the Nazis be a blessing – and a call to action. Am Yisrael Chai, may our proud Jewish lives avenge the 6 million.
