When I first began teaching George Orwell's 1984, I had a heck of a time getting a copy of the Stanford Prison Experiment video, which makes frighteningly clear how ordinary people can become torture agents.
Now, of course, viewing is as quick and easy as a YouTube click. I won't say enjoy.

I'd forgotten about this particular experiment...creepy. I had to look, and found that YouTube also has several videos of the Milgram Shock Experiment - same concept, just as disturbing. Both would fit well with 1984 or with a Holocaust unit.
