About the Book

Indelible Shadows investigates some of the profound questions raised by any attempt to create a film based on the Holocaust. How does one make a movie that is both morally just and marketable? Annette Insdorf recognizes the dilemma inherent in dealing with this sensitive and controversial subject. She probes cinematic language and its capacity to stimulate the audience's moral consideration. The book not only provides sensitive readings of individual films but also analyzes more theoretical issues such as the 'truth claims' of the cinematic medium.

Review :
'By looking at the Holocaust through the filter of [125] fictional and documentary films, Annette Insdorf has succeeded in combining history and popular culture into a scholarly and readable work.' Herbert Mitgang, The New York Times ' … a powerful, passionate and poignant book with many virtues … Her understanding of film is superb and her sensitivity to the Holocaust is evident throughout her work.' Michael Berenbaum, project Director, U. S. Holocaust Museum
