B'Yachad : "Hollywood and the Holocaust"

Prof Foster Hirsch, Film Historian, will speak on Sunday November 1, 10:30-12Noon

In the 1950s and 1960s, Hollywood producers entered a gentleman's agreement to avoid making films about Jewish subjects; in particular the Holocaust.

The recent historical tragedy of unimaginable proportions was deemed to be beyond representation. It wasn't until SCHINDLER'S LIST in 1993 that the subject was dramatized directly and graphically.

Nonetheless, occasional films during the postwar era approached the Holocaust and the Final Solution with varying degrees of candor.

In his presentation, Foster Hirsch will discuss THE JUGGLER (1952), THE YOUNG LIONS (1958), THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK (1959), and THE PAWNBROKER (1965).
