One of the most touching and sad things I've ever seen is the PBS documentary "POV: Inheritance."
It is about the daughter of Nazi war criminal Amon Goeth, Monica, who meets the woman who as a child was forced to worth in his villa.
Amon Goeth was played Ralph Feinnes in Schindler's List. The American Film Institute ranked him #15 on their list of 50 villians. He killed thousands of Jews personally while he was commandant of the death camp at Płaszów.
Watching this woman, Helena, who worked in Goeth's house, recount her memories is utterly heartbreaking.
It's a great piece of filmmaking, and a stern reminder of why we must not let the memory of the Holocaust die. A must see for students everywhere.
Yes, it is another movie review site...hopefully this one adds to the conversation rationally instead of being just more noise to wade through.
