Forum Holocaust 2008 (Yad Vashem event)
Cinema Orion, Helsinki, 21 Jan 2008. Organized by Yad Vashem Finland, chaired by Mr. Matti Myllykoski.
Irene Jelin spoke about anti-semitism before the Holocaust, and Michel Grünstein about modern anti-semitism.
My presentation on cinema and Holocaust was inspired by the new book edited by Jean-Michel Frodon: Le Cinéma et la Shoah: Un art à l'épreuve de la tragédie du 20e siècle (Paris: Editions Cahiers du cinéma / Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah, 2007). It has also a useful filmography in six categories:
1) Documentary and compilation films,
2) Fiction,
3) Essays,
4) Television,
5) Original footage,
6) Nazi propaganda.
The discussion was so lively that the event lasted much longer than planned. I find the theme the more profoundly disturbing the more I think about it, and I took the next day off for mental ventilation.
