Well, I mean if you haven't already seen it, you should probably watch Schindler's List. Other hard hitting and award winning holocaust movies are in no particular order, The Pianist, Sophies Choice, The Diary of Anne Frank, Life is Beautiful (kindof holocaust periphery), Son of Saul, The Pawnbroker.

Pianist is a nice one, done with that. Thanks for other recommendations.

If you want holocaust movies but with some vengence thrown in, any movies about nazi hunters. Judgement At Nuremburg... there's several movies about the famous nazi hunter Simon Weisenthal. My favorite is THe Odessa File - I think the book is better than the movie (with a young John Voight), but its pretty good and has a justice twist at the end that makes you go "Fuck yeah!"

Orson Welles' The Stranger is a noir about hunting a nazi and was the first narrative film to feature footage from the camps. Hacked up by the studio, but still very good

+1 for Schindler's List if you haven't seen it. It's absolutely a must watch. Not really any children in it iirc, but it's probably the best movie about the subject matter. Many cinephiles would put it in their top 10 best movies.
