The author analyzes appropriately selected historical films of
Steven Spielberg and Andrzej Wajda with respect to historical
memory in relation to film. Cultural and moral foundations of
national identity are also taken into account. Spielberg films
particularly valuable for this comparative analysis are:
"Schindler's List", "Amistad", "Saving Private Ryan" and "Lincoln";
crucial Wajda films include: "Korczak", "Holy Week", "Katyn and
Walesa". These works are analyzed in relation to the problem of
representing the Holocaust, self-scrutiny in historical memory,
commemoration of sacrifices for the national community during war,
and foundation myths evoked through national heroes. The larger
thematic framework for the above concerns is the underlying sense
of covenant present within the two national communities that
Spielberg and Wajda draw upon, a sense that explores the
possibility of moral renewal under contemporary circumstances.
