{en} Genocide (USA, 1981), directed by Arnold Schwartzman, narrated by Elizabeth Taylor and Orson Welles. <doc>

The film documents the history of the Holocaust and the reminiscences of those who survived it in support of the fact that, as one of the survivors stated, it can happen again with the rise of anti-Semitism.

A chilling, heartbreaking testament to the strength and suffering of the Jewish people and the courage and heroism of those who came to their aid. With beautiful narration by Orson Welles and Elizabeth Taylor the film begins by providing a look at the flourishing Jewish community in pre-war Europe and then traces their grim trajectory through the ghettos, camps, and prisons of the Nazi regime, introducing the lost victims and brave heroes along the way.

The film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, the first Holocaust film to win such an honor.
