Perhaps the most effective way of relaying information to the public is through film. There are many films about the Holocaust, and the most poignant are the documentaries which include personal interviews of Holocaust survivors. Survivors show their pain and troubles with dealing with the effects of the Shoah on a personal level, as well as on a collective level. These documentaries encourage individuals to understand the terror in the Holocaust, and help show us the detrimental effects. It is vital to preserve Holocaust documentaries for the future, when no Holocaust survivors remain. The footage is proof of the Holocaust and the stories ensure that we will not forget World War I.
2) I will be using the Cuny+ system that our lovely librarian showed us. I have found many books which are pertinent to my topic, and I hope to also find documentary footage, in addition to the literature regarding documentaries. I will also be using Google Scholar to find scholarly articles.
3) The research will help me validate my thesis and give me a new perspective on the matter. Once I do more research, it will also help me focus on specific aspects of the documentaries. This way, I will be able to complicate my thesis.
