Teacher Trainging “The Holocaust in feature films and documentaries”

In this one-day training course, we will take an in-depth look at the depiction of the Holocaust in feature films and documentaries.
The focus will not only be on the transmission of certain pictorial motifs and narrative patterns, but also on the development of these. From documentary classics such as NACHT UND NEBEL (Alain Resnais, 1955) and SHOAH (Claude Lanzmann, 1985) to second-generation cinematic confrontations and feature films such as SCHINDLER’S LIST (Steven Spielberg, 1993), DAS LEBEN IST SCHÖN (Roberto Benigni, 1997) and JOJO RABBIT (Taika Waititi 2019), the exhibition also examines how some narrative patterns are consolidated while others change. The relationship between the perspectives of victims and perpetrators in the film will also be discussed, as well as the cinematic means used and the historical context of their creation.
