Abstract:
A critical analysis of Steven Spielberg's film "Schindler's List" as opposed to Claude Lanzmann's "Shoah". States that while Lanzmann fortifies the memory, and implicitly the mystique, of Auschwitz against oblivion, Spielberg challenges, in a very American way, the impossibility of the representation of the Holocaust and creates a "souvenir" of Auschwitz, opening the gate to forgetfulness. Argues that films, and especially Spielberg's, have no pedagogical value, and that he is using old cinematographic techniques of "representation" by which he is pressing Auschwitz into oblivion.
Note:
On Steven Spielberg's film "Schindler's List".
