This book investigates cinematic representations of the murder of
European Jews and civilian opposition to Nazi occupation from the
war up until the twenty-first century. The study exposes a
chronology of the conflict's memorialization whose geo-political
alignments are demarcated by vectors of time and space-or
'chronotopes', using Mikhail Bakhtin's term. Camino shows such
chronotopes to be first defined by the main allies; the USA, USSR
and UK; and then subsequently expanding from the geographical and
political centres of the occupation; France, the USSR and Poland.
Films from Western and Eastern Europe and the USA are treated as
primary and secondary sources of the conflict. These sources
contribute to a sentient or emotional history that privileges
affect and construct what Michel Foucault labels biopolitics. These
cinematic narratives, which are often based on memoirs of
resistance fighters like Joseph Kessel or Holocaust survivors such
as Primo Levi and Wanda Jakubowska, evoke the past in what Marianne
Hirsch has described as 'post-memory'.
