The movie was produced and directed by Barbara Attie and Martha Goell Lubell, and narrated by Janeane Garofalo. Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport Liebe Perla is a 53-minute documentary that documents Nazi Germany's brutality towards disabled people through the exploration of a friendship between two women with dwarfism: Hannelore Witkofski of Germany and Perla Ovitz, who at the time of filming was living in Israel. Perla Ovitz was experimented on by Joseph Mengele during the Nazi regime. The film was made by Shahar Rozen in Israel and Germany in 1999, and it is in German and Hebrew with English subtitles.

Shoah is a nine-hour documentary completed by Claude Lanzmann in 1985.

The Sorrow and the Pity, 1972, directed by Marcel Ophüls. Swimming in Auschwitz is a 2007 documentary which interweaves the stories of six Jewish women who were imprisoned inside the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp during the Holocaust.
