Never Again: Echoes Of The Holocaust As Understood Through Film

Much has been written and structures have been erected tocommemorate the lives lost in the Holocaust. This book will focus uponwhat living has meant for those who survived. Through a series ofcase studies based upon carefully selected films, the ongoing impactof the traumas suffered by first- and second-generation survivors arecarefully examined. Almost without exception, these films were eitherwritten, directed, or starred in a lead role a first- or second-generationsurvivor and, therefore, present an informed representation of whatthese people continue to experience.Film has come to be the most successful means of deliveringthe message of the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel said that the worst ofalternatives would be that the message of the Holocaust would bedelivered with nothing changed. Hopefully, the message deliveredby this book and its case studies will make some small contributiontoward a realization of its title, Never Again!
