Film and the Holocaust: This seminar will examine a series of documentaries, propaganda films, and feature productions about the Holocaust. We will determine how true the filmmaker is to historical evidence and their “purpose” in making the film. Among the films we will analyze are Triumph des Willens/Triumph of the Will (1934), Jud Suss (1940), Diary of Anne Frank (1959), Judgment at Nuremberg (1961), Garden of Finzi Continis (1971), Visitor from the Living (1997), and Schindler’s List (1993), Downfall (2004), The Reader(2009) and Inglourious Basterds (2009).
