Subject Description | Over the past five decades, film makers and novelists have struggled with the task of depicting the atrocities of the Holocaust. A variety of documentary and fictional films about the Holocaust will be viewed and considered in relation to the themes of memory and history. Students should develop an analysis of the fate of the Holocaust in popular consciousness and the politics of memorialisation in different national contexts, including Germany, Israel, France and America. Students should come to understand critical issues in the aftermath of the Holocaust and its impact on popular culture in specific contexts, and be able to analyse the effectiveness of cinema as a medium for representing history. |
