The Holocaust Film Database is a non-profit, educational content project. This database and web application will contain all the information in an interactive way from the book The Holocaust As Seen Through Film by Rabbi Dr. Bernhard Rosenberg. We use the best current technology in the communication of the bibliography, as Cloud Services, SQL relational database and Python/Django Framework over LiteSpeed Server technology.

In a first stage we will build the records for each related film or documentary contained in Rabbi Rosenberg's book. Later we will add additional resources such as Amazon reviews and class activities with questions for group discussion. These class activities are displayed in a PDF document for easy printing and distribution among students.
