Jews have been well represented in the cinema industry from the
beginning of the film era: behind the screen, as producers,
distributors, directors, script-writers, composers, set designers;
and on the screen, as Jewish actors and as named Jewish characters
in the film's plot. Some of these characters are fictional; others,
ranging from Rabbi Loew of Prague to Ferdinand Lassalle and Alfred
Dreyfus, have a historic original. This book examines how a variety
of German and Austrian films treat aspects of Jewish life, at home
and in the synagogue, and Jewish interaction with fellow Jews in
different cultural environments; conflicts and accommodations
between Jews and non-Jews at various times, ranging from the
medieval to the contemporary. The author, one of the best known
scholars in film history, theory and criticism, offers the reader a
rich panorama of the many Jews involved in all spheres of the
cinema and who, as the author reminds us repeatedly, together with
their non-Jewish contemporaries, created a great industry and new
forms of art.
