Never Again: Echoes of the Holocaust As Understood Through Film by Sylvia Ginsparg
$24.95
From the Preface by Sylvia Ginsparg:
What if the tragedy of the messenger is that he could not deliver his message? Worse, that he forgot the message. Worse, that he forgot that he was a messenger. Or worse, that he delivered the message and nothing changed?
—Elie Wiesel
Messengers and messages come in varied shapes and forms. Film has been shown to be one of the more successful methods of communicating the messages of the holocaust. The images portrayed and their accompanying music resonate with the viewer long after leaving the movie theater.
The messages delivered by the films discussed in this book represent the creations of the writers, directors, and performers of the films who, almost without exception, are either first—or second-generation survivors.
