En savoir plus sur le livre
As the 'era of the witness' draws to a close with the passing of Holocaust survivors, Claude Lanzmann's archive of 220 hours of footage, excluded from his documentary Shoah (1985), presents a unique opportunity to engage with previously unseen interviews recorded in the late 1970s. While the archive is freely accessible online and includes additional footage of Shoah participants, this book concentrates on interviews that did not appear in the final film or any subsequent releases. It features significant figures such as former partisan Abba Kovner, wartime activist Hansi Brand, Kovno Ghetto leader Leib Garfunkel, rescuer Tadeusz Pankiewicz, and members of Roosevelt's War Refugee Board, highlighting efforts at rescue and resistance within and outside occupied Europe. Sue Vice argues that analyzing this excluded footage offers fresh insights into the making of Shoah, revealing the near-impossibility of rescue and the often suicidal nature of resistance as integral to the genocide process. She concludes that these outtakes illustrate Lanzmann's vision for new filmic forms to represent the critical themes of Holocaust rescue and resistance.
