Holocaust to shoah

Performance mettre en scène

Place and language recall the characters’ physical memories and emotions, from "witnesses" to "actors" staged witnesses

a fiction of the real breaking the boundaries of time dimension, plot and record is also a concise expression of the picture (the image completes the place restricted by the text)

The categorical imperative morality is based on the law of nature (model concentration camps, special mission units, and the most unbearable inquiries)

presentation structure:

The recurrence and structure of history (three concentration camps, death instead of surviving, the catastrophe itself, not just surviving)

Anti-Semitic history, the formation of Lanzman ("I am a Jew", "Israel, Why", Sartre, "Eichmann of Jerusalem" (different, not to understand the banality of evil))

The aesthetic expression and completion of the film (lens, sound and picture language)

Film structure (circular diffusion, the interviewer cuts into segments and intertwined, breaking the linearity of the original documentary record of events, without starting and ending. How to edit and internal connection)-understand the structure of the author's editing, and the display of the theme , Jigsaw puzzle yourself (Oral history: the choice of characters, who is qualified to speak, Treblinka/Chelmno/Auschwitz/Theresienstadt)

How is it done? The interview method is not an abstract question, but an experience that is difficult to resort to language (the morality of the documentary)

Shoah quotes

  • Claude Lanzmann: And this "death panic"?

    Franz Suchomel: When this "death panic" sets in, one lets go. It's well known when someone's terrified, and knows he's about to die; it can happen in bed. My mother was kneeling by her bed...

    Claude Lanzmann: Your mother?

    Franz Suchomel: Yes. Then there was a big pile. That's a fact. It's been medically proven.

  • Franz Suchomel: If you lie enough, you believe your own lies.
