Some say that telling the story of the Holocaust is impossible,
yet, artists have told the story thousands of time since the end of
World War II in novels, dramas, paintings, music, sculpture, and
film. Over the past seven decades, hundreds of documentaries,
narrative shorts and features, and television miniseries have
confronted the horrors of the past, creating an easily recognized
iconography of persecution and genocide. While it can be argued
that film and television have a tendency to trivialize, using the
artifacts of popular culture - film and literature - artists keep
the past alive, ensuring that victims are not forgotten and the
tragedy of the Holocaust is not repeated. The Historical Dictionary
of Holocaust Cinema examines the history of how the Holocaust is
presented in film, including documentaries, feature films, and
television productions. It contains a chronology of events needed
to give the films and their reception a historical context, an
introductory essay, a bibliography, a filmography of more than 600
titles, and over 100 cross-referenced dictionary entries on films,
directors, and historical figures. Foreign language films and
experimental films are included, as well as canonical films. This
book is a must for anyone interested in the scope of films on the
Holocaust and also for scholars interested in investigating ideas
for future research.
