The Holocaust on screen: Crimes against humanity and representation
La Shoah à l'écran

The staging of the Holocaust and crimes against humanity poses filmmakers ethical issues and some documentaries or fictions have already raised controversy. Is audio-visual therefore the best way to raise awareness among young populations? Should it not rather be the role of other materials such as archives or testimonies? These are the questions raised by this book. Cinema can't only stage the concentration camp horror but must also educate young audiences. In the first part, Anne-Marie Baron re-examines definitions and important concepts concerning the audio-visual treatment of Holocaust and in the second part, she provides a list of documentaries and films along with analysis to help teachers in this exercise.
