I showed it to my high school classes many times. After the first showing it was seared into my mind forever and ever.Everyone who thinks war is ok, should see this. War and its consequences, like this film, strengthen forever the idea that war is awful beyond imagination. Hate and its consequences is also a by-product of war or a precursor to war....This defines the Holocaust forever in a person's mind...and what "hate" does to people. Further, showing this movie to people is indeed the answer to the question posed in your post..

The brilliance of this film, is that it is 32 minutes. The music itself is horrific. I assume you have seen this one, but if not, it is likely to be at the library...............................Night and Fog..

Now, you ask, how do we assure that future generations understand the horror of war?..This is how this is done. But it isn't just the Holocaust,.. it is man's inhumanity to man, and what war does to people.
Or the essence of Hate in Humans and its results...English subtitles, in French...Test it out..
.......Watch it twice...you will understand why this film defines real, "horror"...Be warned, this is as
.......evil as it gets. Black and White movie, If I recall, it in itself is ..not violent. This film shows the results of violence and hate. Bodies everywhere..(at the end)..horror. .......and good luck..
