| Summary |
"Hollywood is the means by which most people, for better or for worse, come to terms with the Holocaust," says historian Neal Gabler. This documentary explores the ways in which American films have shaped the perception of the Holocaust. Using archival footage, first-hand accounts by directors such as Steven Speilberg and Sidney Lumet, as well as actors, producers, survivors and historians, and excerpts of films like Confessions of a Nazi Spy, The Great Dictator, Mortal Storm, The Pawnbroker, Sophie's Choice and Schindler's List, the documentary examines Hollywood's complex - and sometimes contradictory -responses to the horrors of Nazi Germany.
