    Abstract: Explores the ways in which the city of Lublin and the nearby Majdanek concentration camp have been used in films on the Holocaust made by filmmakers from various countries. The city and the death camp were sites of both Jewish and Christian martyrdom (59,000 victims of Majdanek out of a total of 79,000 were Jewish). Nevertheless, the earliest footage of Lublin and Majdanek (from 1944 on) and postwar films that used this footage or were filmed in Lublin portrayed them exclusively as sites of Polish martyrdom, thus neglecting the Holocaust. More recent Western and Israeli films returned the sites to Jewish history and re-established the association between the Holocaust and images of Lublin and Majdanek. However, these images are often used by cinematographers without naming the city and the camp, and sometimes play the role of Warsaw or Vilnius, and even of Paris or some city in wartime Hungary on the screen.

    Abstract: Journey to Poland addresses crucial issues of memory and history in relation to the Holocaust as it unfolded in the territories of the Second Polish Republic. Aiming to understand the ways past events inform present-day landscapes, and the way in which we engage with memory, witnessing and representation, the book creates a coherent cinematic map of this landscape through the study of previously neglected film and TV documentaries that focus on survivors and bystanders, as well as on members of the post-war generation. Applying a spatial and geographical approach to a debate previously organised around other frameworks of analysis, Journey to Poland uncovers vital new perspectives on the Holocaust
