Aside from learning more about the darkest era in human history, I think that one of the best aspects of these videos are the photos of those who lost their lives in the holocaust. We've seen first-hand accounts on those who managed to survive, but showing biographical information on those who lost their lives makes the unthinkable member of 6 million lost more tangible. These people were not even granted the dignity of a solitary death, and I appreciate that these videos ensure that they are not forgotten.

Have you made one of Peter, Aguste or Herman Van Pels? I loved the one of Margot Frank. I highly love this one! Great video! These people should never be forgotten! You should do the rest of the the Franks and Pels - and perhaps Fritz Pfeffer
