Another Life
"Director Amir Yatziv uses animation to explore the way in which 21st century technology is utilized to document and preserve the historical memory of the Holocaust. A German prosecutor preparing to try an accused Nazi, an Israeli game developer, and a German architect working with an Israeli historian, each have their own reasons for creating virtual worlds that simulate Auschwitz. Avatars of each of these creators guide the viewer through their simulated camps, explaining their motivations. The result is a revelatory new chapter in the ongoing quest to understand and memorialize the Shoah."

From the Auschwitz Chronicle
"Attempts to preserve the memory of the human tragedy of the concentration camp at Auschwitz. Contains testimonies of numerous eyewitnesses."
"During the Nazi regime, Dr. Josef Mengele conducted "scientific" experiments on and shot 'research' footage of a Jewish family of dwarfs. Fifty years later, Hannelore, a short-statured woman born in post-war Germany, set out on a quest to locate the films. During the process, she befriended the only surviving family member, Perla, an actress, now living in Israel."
Numbered
"Auschwitz prisoners, both Jewish or non-Jewish, were tattooed with serial numbers, first on their chests and then their left arms. An estimated 400,000 numbers were tattooed in Auschwitz and its sub-camps; only some several thousand survivors are still alive today. Numbered is an explosive, highly visual, and emotionally cinematic journey, guided by testimonies and portraits of these survivors. The film documents the dark time and setting during which these tattoos were assigned as well as the meaning they took on in the years following the war. In fact, the film's protagonist is the number itself, as it evolves and becomes both a personal and collective symbol from 1940 to today. These scars, paradoxically unanimous and anonymous, reveal themselves to be diverse, enlightening, and full of life." - kNow Productions website.
