The Path to Nazi Genocide

The health and safety of our visitors, staff, and volunteers are our highest priority. To help reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 (coronavirus), the Museum is closed to the public. Due to this closure, you may experience a delay in receiving your requested materials. Please note that all of the Museum's educational materials are available online at www.ushmm.org/teach.

This 38-minute film examines the Nazis’ rise and consolidation of power in Germany. Using rare footage, the film explores their ideology, propaganda, and persecution of Jews and other victims. It also outlines the path by which the Nazis and their collaborators led a state to war and to the murder of millions of people.

By providing a concise overview of the Holocaust and those involved, this resource is intended to provoke reflection and discussion about the role of ordinary people, institutions, and nations between 1918 and 1945.

This film contains difficult subject matter and imagery. Selected segments may not be appropriate for younger audiences.


Please note: There is a limit of one DVD per person. Because you are requesting this resource, you will receive education-related emails periodically from the Museum, and may be contacted to take part in a survey. You may opt out of emails at any time.

*The Museum is unable to fulfill requests outside of the United States. All of the materials included on the DVD can be found on our website, where it is subtitled in 10 languages.
