As the first studio film to deal directly with the enormity of the Holocaust, "Schindler's List" attempts to provide the popular imagination with a narrative about the Holocaust. This work discusses a variety of issues including the representation of history by cinema and popular culture, and the right to dramatize the 'unrepresentable'.
"This anthology of essays on Steven Spielberg's 1993 film is a solid achievement. It is a repository of considerable critical insight and frequently passionate argument." -Holocaust and Genocide Studies
"An excellent collection; highly recommended for general readers and students at all levels." -Choice
"This collection of essays opens further the debate on how to represent the Holocaust as Holocaust representation and memory move into ever-greater areas of daily American and Jewish American culture." -Tikkun
Schindler's List not only afforded director Steven Spielberg a cinematic vehicle loaded with Hollywood-hardware to create his master narrative about the Holocaust, the film also invited a renewed scholarly and intellectual discussion about racism, "historical voyeurism" and the "limits of representation." This thought-provoking critical anthology tackles these issues and many others.
