East Germany's ruling party never officially acknowledged
responsibility for the crimes committed in Germany's name during
the Third Reich. Instead, it cast communists as both victims of and
victors over National Socialist oppression while marginalizing
discussions of Jewish suffering. Yet for the 1977 Academy Awards,
the Ministry of Culture submitted Jakob der Lugner - a film focused
exclusively on Jewish victimhood that would become the only East
German film to ever be officially nominated. By combining close
analyses of key films with extensive archival research, this book
explores how GDR filmmakers depicted Jews and the Holocaust in a
country where memories of Nazi persecution were highly prescribed,
tightly controlled and invariably political.
