East German Film and the Holocaust

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into the portrayal of Jews and the Holocaust in East German cinema, particularly focusing on the film Jakob der Lügner, which uniquely highlighted Jewish victimhood. It examines the GDR's official narrative that marginalized Jewish suffering while framing communists as both victims and victors of Nazi oppression. Through detailed film analysis and archival research, the author reveals the complexities of memory and representation in a context where discussions of Nazi crimes were politically controlled and restricted.
