In addition to working in a secular private school, I am a Jewish
librarian. I hope the preceding is helpful. Sorry I don't have time
to research vidoes.

Try the bibliographies on the following award winning web site please:

I have one more site for you to research if you have the time:

other Judaica Resources on the WWW

------------------

Shoah
The Only Way - Video Communications, Inc.
The Holocaust Series - The World of Anne Frank - Ergo
     Media, Inc.
Weapons of the Spirit - Anti-Defamation League
The Holocaust As Seen Through the Eyes of A Survivor - Czigler Publishing

For Books, there are sooo many; I'd recommend:

Rose Blanche - Roberto Innocenti
Number the Stars - Lois Lowry
Diary of Anne Frank
Gold, Alison Leslie - Memories of Anne Frank
The Cage - Ruth Minsky Sender
Maus
Maus II
Pettit, Jayne - A Place to Hide : True Stories of Holocaust Rescues
Rittner, Carol et al - The Courage to Care
Bachrach, Susan D. - Tell Them We Remember:  The Story of the Holocaust
Abells, Chana Byers - The Children We Remember
Auschwitz Album
Adler, David A. - We Remember the Holocaust
Leitner, Isabella - Fragments of Isabella
Leitner, Isabella - The Big Lie : A True Story
Weisel, Elie - Night
Reiss, Johanna - The Upstairs Room
Douglas, Kirk - Broken Mirror
Orlev, Uri - The Island on Bird Street
Ackerman, Karen - The Night Crossing


-------------

Try The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne Frank: Beyond the Diary,
When the Soldiers Were Gone, Number the Stars, and The
Devil's Arithmetic.  Swing Kids is a great movie about the
Hitler youth but I can't remember the rating and content
to tell you if it's age-appropriate or not.  Good luck!

-------------

The Georgia Tech Library has a Holocaust Web site with some videos,
including digitized footage of camps during liberation, particularly
Dachau and Ohrdruf, as well as interviews with concentration camp
liberators.

See: http://www.library.gatech.edu/projects/holocaust

---------------

Many communities have Jewish Women's Leagues who have many resources of this
type.  I live near Norfolk, VA and the local group puts on a great week long
educational program every two years.  I'm not sure of their exact name but a
search on Norfolk, Virginia and Jewish Women's League should bring up their
site.  If you can't contact them, e-mail me back and I will get more
information.  I'm not at school or I could be of more help.
Good luck,

-------------------

The Devil's Arithmetic, by Jane Yolen is wonderful.  There is a Showtime
movie on it too.

In My Hands, by Opdyke is an excellent autobiography about a Polish young
woman who helped to save many Jews in Poland during WW II.
