I want to learn as much as possible about the holocaust not just about the basics but all the details we know about. I'd also like to know more about the Sonderkommandos (super commandos) who were the Jews that were forced to take part in the killings.
Shoah by Claude Lanzmann is devastatingly good. He only uses footage that he shot himself (so no archival film) of his interviews of survivors, perpetrators, and other witnesses. There's no narrative, but over the course of the film Lanzmann exposes the fear and horror and tragedy that the survivors experience, the excuses the perpetrators deploy to deflect blame away from themselves, and the utter disconnection many witnesses felt from the victims. Among the interviewees are Filip Müller, who had been a member of the Sonderkommando at Auschwitz; Abraham Bomba, a barber at Treblinka and later in Israel (he's actually cutting someone's hair while being interviewed); Franz Suchomel, an SS officer at Treblinka; and Jan Karski, a member of the Polish government-in-exile who tried to convince the Allied governments of what was happening (he was unsuccessful).
Not to be redundant, but this film is devastating.
The Criterion edition is just over 9 hours long.
Look for a writer named Guido Knopp.
Hi! There are a lot of books on the Holocaust on the AskHistorian booklist (link). There's also a WWII section in the FAQ, which has some questions answered on the Holocaust (link) and about a year ago there was a AMA with Holocaust panelists (link).
/r/Documentaries also has a couple documentaries on the Holocaust (link). You just have to skip through the American 'holocausts'.
Hi there. Alas, no one can know "all the details we know about" the Holocaust. There are tens of thousands of books on the subject and about 4000 are added every year (granted, many are not in English). Since you expressed a particular interest in the Sonderkommandos, I'll list some suggestions below. By the way, Sonderkommando means "special workforce" and they were not forced to take part in the killings, only in the cleanup, that is: removing gold teeth from the bodies and burying or cremating them; as well as cutting the hair of the women before they were gassed.
