From 'Anne Frank' to 'Schindler’s List' to 'Jojo Rabbit', Holocaust films are put into historical and artistic perspective and are discussed through many lenses: historically, chronologically, thematically, sociologically, geographically and individually. With more than 450 Holocaust films having been made since 1945, which will stand the test of time?
