While that film is rated for younger audiences, it is a problematic story. Unlike Night which is told by a survivor and centers the experiences of the oppressed group, Boy in the Striped Pajamas centers the dominant group's narrative, and by telling it through the eyes of a young child of the privileged group, it minimizes the horrors.

Hi folks:
A 9th grade teacher reading Elie Weisel’s Night with his classes is looking for a companion movie.
Schindler’s List seems a little heavy and it’s often shown in AP Euro.
Any grade appropriate suggestions?
Thanks,
Matt
