An examination of cinematic representations of the Jewish Holocaust in the 20th century, within the overlapping contexts of three critical lines of investigation: the efficacy and social function of aesthetic representation; the expressiveness of film in relation and contrast to other media (graphic literature, prose & poetry, photography); and genocide as a broad cinematic theme (Rwanda, Cambodia, slavery and native genocidein the Americas).
