We Must Remember

(USA, 2008, English, Color, 63 mins. Director: Doug Green)

This is the story of 16 American high school students who set out to learn about the Holocaust through a small extracurricular broadcasting project.  They are inspored by the 2008 Boston Globe article Adolf Who? that reported that 25 percent of 17 year olds didn’t know who Adolf Hitler was.

The documentary focuses on firsthand accounts from Holocaust survivors, US veterans who liberated Dachuau, and the students as they travel to Poland and Germany, where they film inside the Dachau, Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camp sites.  The filmmakers visit high schools in Munich and Dachau to interview German teenagers and talk candidly about what happened there during the Holocaust in their grandparents’ lifetime.

Speakers: Filmmaker/teacher Doug Green and student filmmaker
