Polish Film and the Holocaust

Více o knize

The book explores the representation of the Holocaust in Polish cinema, highlighting the significant loss of life during World War II, particularly among Polish Jews. It examines key films from various periods, starting with early classics like The Last Stage and Border Street, and continuing through the Polish School period with notable works by Andrzej Wajda and Andrzej Munk. The narrative addresses the "organized silence" from 1965 to 1980 and the resurgence of Holocaust films post-1989, contributing to discussions on Poland's national memory and cultural identity.
