6. Not necessarily European or WWII, but these films are also required viewing in my mind:

These are VERY disturbing movies and powerful performances about the 1994 Rwandan genocide...
Hotel Rwanda (2004): Tells the story of Paul Rusesabagina, who saved over a thousand refugees in his hotel.
Shooting Dogs (2005): Follows a British priest and a journalist trapped during the crisis.

We cheapen the phrase "never again" when we cover our eyes and ears and ignore any "again" (Gaza now, Rwanda and others as well) or fail to call it out and stop it.

If the GOP cancels the elections in November or attempts to install Trump's corpse as ruler in perpetuity when his heart explodes (hopefully later today or at the earliest possible moment), they are not likely to start execution camps - but ICE is essentially the precursor for state sponsored execution squads that would roam the streets and execute "enemies" of the state as decided by Stephen fucking Miller and Cos-play Barbie.
