In addition to an in-depth study on films produced for both theatrical release and TV since 1937 - including \u003ci\u003eThe Great Dictator, Cabaret, Julia\u003c\/i\u003e, and the mini-series Holocaust - this work provides an analysis of \u003ci\u003eSchindler's List\u003c\/i\u003e and the debate over the merit of Spielberg's vision of the Holocaust.\u003cbr\u003eIt also examines more thoroughly made-for-television movies, such as \u003ci\u003eEscape From Sobibor, Playing For Time, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e War and Remembrance.\u003c\/i\u003e A special chapter on \u003ci\u003eThe Diary of Anne Frank\u003c\/i\u003e discusses the evolution of that singularly European work into a universal symbol. Paying special attention to the tumultuous 1960s in America, it assesses the effect of the era on Holocaust films made during that time. It also discusses how these films helped integrate the Holocaust into the fabric of American society, transforming it into a metaphor for modern suffering. Finally, the work explores cinema in relation to the Americanization of the Jewish image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Doneson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 7.08w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815629269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVariety\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/25\/2002 pg. 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJudith Doneson\u003c\/b\u003e was the author of numerous groundbreaking studies in \u003ci\u003eRepresentation of the Jew in Film\u003c\/i\u003e.
