Caught on Camera - Film in the Courtroom from the Nuremberg Trials to the Trials of the Khmer Rouge (Hardcover): Christian... Caught on Camera - Film in the Courtroom from the Nuremberg Trials to the Trials of the Khmer Rouge (Hardcover)

When the Allied forces of World War II formed an international tribunal to prosecute Nazi war crimes, they introduced two major innovations to court procedure. The prosecution projected film footage and newsreels shot by British, Soviet, and American soldiers as they discovered Nazi camps. These images, presented as human testimony and material evidence, were instrumental in naming and prosecuting war crimes. At the same time, the Nuremberg tribunal was filmed so that the memory of "the greatest trial in history" would remain strong in future generations. In the decades that followed, the use of film in the courtroom greatly influenced the conduct of the Eichmann trial--and subsequently the trials of Klaus Barbie, Paul Touvier, and Maurice Papon in France, as well as the proceedings against Slobodan Milosević and the Khmer Rouge Kang Kek lew.Combining the practical knowledge of a renowned director with the perspective of a historian and media specialist, Christian Delage examines archival footage from these trials and explores the conditions and consequences of using film for the purposes of justice and memory. Revised and expanded from the original French publication, "Caught on Camera" retraces the steps by which the United States pioneered jurisprudence that sanctioned the introduction of film as evidence and then established the precedent of preserving an audiovisual record of those proceedings. From the Nuremberg trials to the current Khmer Rouge trials, Delage considers how national attitudes toward the introduction of filmic evidence in court vary widely, and how different countries have sought to use film as a recordkeeping medium. "Caught on Camera" demonstrates how reproduced images, as evidence, testimony, and archival documentation, have influenced the writing of modern history.

The Future of a Negation - Reflections on the Question of Genocide (Hardcover): Alain Finkielkraut The Future of a Negation - Reflections on the Question of Genocide (Hardcover)
Alain Finkielkraut; Translated by Mary Byrd Kelly; Introduction by Richard J. Golsan
R1,093 Discovery Miles 10 930 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"The Future of a Negation" is a crucial statement on the Holocaust--and on Holocaust denial--from Alain Finkielkraut, one of the most acclaimed and influential intellectuals in contemporary Europe.
The book examines the Holocaust, its origins in modern European thought and politics, and recent "revisionist" attempts to deny its full dimensions and, in some cases, its very existence as historical fact. Finkielkraut's central topic is the impulse toward "negation" of the Nazi horrors: the arguments made by many people, of varying political orientations, that "the gas chambers are a hoax or, in any case, an unverifiable rumor." In addition, Finkielkraut looks at other instances of twentieth-century mass murder and at arguments made by contemporary politicians and intellectuals that similarly deny the full extent of these other atrocities. An original, fearless book, "The Future of a Negation" is an essential contribution to our understanding of the Holocaust and of genocidal politics and thought in our century.
