My friend is a foreign exchange student who knows almost nothing about the holocaust. What is the best way for me to teach him about it?

by TooMuchJargon

At the moment I'm leaning towards a film or possibly a book. I was thinking Schindler's list or maybe Elie Wiesel's night. Ideally it would be something we could both read/watch together and talk about afterwards. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Also, I'm unclear about whether this kind of question is within the bounds of what is allowed on this subreddit. If it isn't, please let me know so I can remove it.

If you want something very easy to digest, relatively speaking of course, the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a very basic introduction to the holocaust. Alternatively, The Pianist addresses many of the horrors of the war and touches on most major events that occurred in Poland at the time.
