Nick Davis’ THIS ORDINARY THING leaves us with a truth that is both inspiring and deeply unsettling. The Holocaust did not begin with concentration camps. It began with hatred tolerated, prejudice ignored, and the gradual acceptance of the idea that some lives mattered less than others.

What makes this documentary so powerful is that it reminds us that history is not simply a collection of dates an...
