Abstract:
The course was organized for students preparing to work in the mass media or in oral history, to teach them how to conduct an interview with Holocaust survivors or refugees from Nazism without exploiting them or catering to easy emotionalism, as, in the organizers' view, commonly happens. The curriculum included background in German-Jewish history and on the Holocaust; the viewing of sample interviews from Lanzmann's "Shoah" and other Holocaust documentaries, and from the video archives of the Fritz Bauer Institut, the Spielberg Foundation, and the Moses-Mendelssohn Institut; and the problems of oral history. Groups of students conducted and filmed interviews at the Offene Kanal, a communal TV station. The interviews, with seven well-known individuals, covered their life stories before, during, and after the Nazi period in order to show how they were affected by this caesura in their lives.
