My Yiddish Momme McCoy is a documentary made in 1991 by Bob Giges about his 90-year-old Jewish grandmother who fell in love and married an Irish-Catholic named Bernie McCoy. Interfaith marriage has always been an issue in the Jewish community, but in the early twentieth-century it was particularly taboo. My Yiddish Momme McCoy addresses the prejudices the couple faced and the challenges that their divergent cultures presented them.

Paper Clips takes place in the rural, blue-collar Tennessee community of Whitwell, where a middle-school class attempts to gauge the magnitude of World War II's Holocaust by collecting paper clips, each of which represents a human life lost in the Nazis' slaughter of Jews. The idea came in 1998 from three of the teachers at the school and was completed in their eighth grade classrooms. The students ultimately succeeded in collecting over 25 million paperclips.

Dans le cadre de ses travaux sur Shoah, Claude Lanzmann s'est longuement entretenu avec le rabbin Benjamin Murmelstein, au sujet de son rôle ambivalent comme haut fonctionnaire de la communauté juive de Vienne, contrôlée par Adolf Eichmann pendant la période nazie, et comme un « doyen juif » dans le camp de concentration de Terezín. En se filmant au présent sur les lieux évoqués dans les images de 1975, Lanzmann introduit une interrogation critique sur les moyens d'évoquer le passé au cinéma.

Pourquoi Israël (sans point d'interrogation) n'a pas de synopsis classique, ne raconte pas d'histoire, mais tente d’appréhender l'histoire d'Israël, vingt-cinq ans après la création de son État, au travers d'une succession d'images du pays et d'interviews de ses habitants. Tourné en 1972, le film, qui dure trois heures vingt, est présenté au 11e Film Festival de New York le 7 octobre 1973, soit le lendemain du déclenchement de la Guerre du Kippour.

Malte's sister Barbel is shown defending her father and insisting that he could not have known the full truth about Auschwitz, that he tried to resist or subvert the Nazi's most inhumane policies, and that the victims of Auschwitz should be thought of as casualties of war. Malte also includes testimony from a member of a Jewish family in Slovakia whose house was expropriated by the Nazis in the early 1940s.

L’Hakoah (« La force » en hébreu), fut fondé à Vienne en 1909, par réaction au célèbre paragraphe aryen qui interdisait aux clubs de sport autrichiens d’intégrer des athlètes juifs et devint l’un des plus grands clubs de sport de l’Europe de l’entre deux guerres. Dans les années 30, les plus grands succès de l’Hakoah furent remportés par ses nageuses, qui dominaient la compétition nationale en Autriche. Après l’Anschluss, les Nazis ont fait fermer le club. Les nageuses réussirent à fuir le pays avant que la guerre n’éclate, grâce à une opération de sauvetage organisée par les sportifs de l’Hakoah. 65 ans plus tard, 7 membres de l’équipe féminine de natation se retrouvent dans leur ancienne piscine à Vienne, un voyage qui évoque à la fois les souvenirs de leurs jeunes années, leur féminité affirmer et qui leur permet de renouer les liens de toute une vie.
