Reviews

Michalczyk's study of Holocaust films is almost half taken up with scholarly apparatus: a chronology (1934-1962), a bibliography of the Nuremberg trials, a bibliography of Holocaust film, an annotated filmography (21 films), and a lengthy index. The text proper is solemn and intense. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. -- P. H. Stacy, emeritus, University of Hartford CHOICE [This] volume surveys a broad range of too-little-known Holocaust documentaries ... [and] makes an individual contribution to this still understudied area of research. CINEASTE Michaelczyk's perspective helps us better understand how attitudes towards German perpetrators eventually attained their present forms. English Historical Review
