GLBL 338 - Holocaust Film

Focuses on cinematic treatments and complex issues surrounding the representation of the Holocaust. Highlights the representation in films of how the victims attempted to hide; how the Germans rounded them up, took them to camps and killed them, as well acts of courage and resistance by victims, perpetrators and bystanders. Examines how cinematic ‘kitsch’ and the voyeurism of uninformed audiences around the world have adulterated public memory of the Holocaust. Also offered as FAIR 334S.
