As we approach the end of the 'era of the witness', given the
passing on of the generation of Holocaust survivors, Claude
Lanzmann's archive of 220 hours of footage excluded from his
ground-breaking documentary Shoah (1985) offers a remarkable
opportunity to encounter previously unseen interviews with
survivors and other witnesses, recorded in the late 1970s. Although
the archive is all available freely to view online and includes
extra footage of those who appear in Shoah, this book focuses on
the interviews from which no extracts appear in the finished film
or in any subsequent release. The material analysed features
interviews with such significant figures as the former partisan
Abba Kovner, wartime activist Hansi Brand, Kovno Ghetto leader Leib
Garfunkel, rescuer Tadeusz Pankiewicz and members of Roosevelt's
War Refugee Board, and focuses throughout on the efforts at rescue
and resistance by those within and outside occupied Europe. Sue
Vice contends that watching and analysing this wholly excluded
footage gives us new insights into the making of Shoah through what
was left out. Moreover, she reveals that the near-impossibility of
rescue and often suicidal implications of resistance emerge through
these excluded interviews as inextricable from the process of
genocide. She concludes by arguing that the outtakes show the
potential for new filmic forms envisaged on Lanzmann's part in
order to represent the crucial topics of attempted Holocaust rescue
and resistance.
