Abstract:
Discusses Holocaust films, noting that even before the war films denouncing oppression of minorities were produced, such as "Jew Suess" (Britain, 1934) and "The House of Rothschild" (USA, 1934). Nazi propaganda produced "documentaries" about the Jews which depicted them as a pest or epidemic, thereby justifying their extermination (e.g. "Der ewige Jude", 1940), or films such as "Der Führer schenkt den Juden eine Stadt" in Theresienstadt, 1944, which was a cover-up of conditions in the concentration camps. Mentions that during the war, news film footage produced in the Allied countries seldom referred to the extermination of the Jews. Relates, also, to the most important films of the early postwar period, such as the Yiddish films "Mir lebngeblibene" (Poland, 1946), "Lang iz der veg" (Germany, 1948), "Undzere kinder" (Poland, 1948), and "Nuit et brouillard" (France, 1955) and "Singing in the Dark" (USA, 1956).
