Ep. 32- Lanzmann's Shoah with Dominic Williams
In 1985, the nine-hour film Shoah by Claude Lanzmann hit theaters. This powerful production featured survivor testimony as well as secretly filmed interviews with Nazi perpetrators.
It’s length and the way it was shot challenges our understanding of what a Holocaust film is. Is it a documentary film or something else? How has it impacted both our understanding of the event as well as the ways in which others have made films and movies about the Holocaust? In this discussion with Dominic Williams, we dive into all these questions and more!
Dominic Williams is an assistant professor of history at Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK.
