Product Description

Product Description

A nine-and-a-half-hour documentary on the Nazi extermination camps, Shoah (the Hebrew word for "Holocaust") was internationally hailed as a masterpiece upon its release in 1985. Shunning any re-creation, archival footage, or visual documentation of the events, filmmaker Claude Lanzmann relied on the words of witnesses—Jewish, Polish, and German—to describe in ruthless detail the bureaucratic machinery of the Final Solution, so that the remote experiences of the Holocaust became fresh and immediate. This book presents in an accessible and vivid format the testimony of survivors, participants, witnesses, and scholars. This tenth anniversary edition, published on the fiftieth anniversary of the liberation of the camps, is newly revised and corrected in order to more accurately present the actual testimony of those interviewed. Shoah is an unparalleled oral history of the Holocaust, an intensely readable journey through the twentieth century's greatest horror.

About the Author

1.0 out of 5 stars Hate breeds hate breeds hate..., Dec 16 2001
This review is from: Shoah: The Complete Text Of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film (Paperback)
There is no pretense that this book or the film were objective. There is no telling of the tale from the other side. There is no argument. No walk down the Blvd of the Rigtheous Gentile. No understanding of the meaning of Nazi Death warrants issued against those brave souls who aided Jews. This film and book may be the most vicious Polish joke of all. And perhaps because of what bigotry begats, the most vicious Jewish joke also.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Polish Jew, a Holocaust Survivor, Sets the Record Straight, July 3 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Shoah: The Complete Text Of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film (Paperback)
Sigmund Gorson, a Polish Jew, has written an expose of the numerous historical inaccuracies in the film Shoah. Gorson's article can be found in the library of Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, CT. Among other things, Gorson points out that: 1) Two million Polish Christians were also murdered by the German Nazis during the Holocaust, 2) The Warsaw Ghetto uprising had far more extensive supply of arms by the Polish underground than the token one-gun shown in the movie, 3) The scene where uniformed Polish soldiers shot Jewish women and children is a vicious lie, 4) Overall, more Christians than Jews perished in the hands of the German and Austrian Nazis, 5) True instances of Polish collaboration with the Germans against the Jews were very rare, and were punished by death by the Polish underground, etc. So for those who think that Shoah presents gospel truth, I would advise them to read Gorson.

1.0 out of 5 stars An Anti-Polish Falsification of History, Jun 22 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Shoah: The Complete Text Of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film (Paperback)
Lanzmann did not get it right, and I wonder why. He depicts the Jewish ghettoes as guarded by Polish-collaborator police. But this is not the way it usually happened: In the vast majority of cases, the ghettoes were guarded by Jewish collaborators--the Judenrate. It was the Judenrate which played the major role in sealing off the ghettoes, preventing Jews from escaping, and even killing those who did try to escape.
