Polish Film and the Holocaust

More about the book

The book provides an in-depth analysis of the representation of the Holocaust in Polish cinema, highlighting films from various eras and their cultural significance. It begins with early works like "The Last Stage" and "Border Street," progresses through the Polish School, and addresses the period of silence on Polish-Jewish relations before the resurgence of Holocaust films post-1989, such as "The Pianist." By situating these films within their historical and ideological contexts, the author contributes to both film studies and discussions on Poland's national memory.
