Product Detail

Name:	Nazis and the Cinema
Product Code:	9781847252111
Description:	By Susan Tegel
Product Detail:	The Nazi regime inherited the largest film industry outside Hollywood and clearly understood its key role in entertainment and information. Susan Tegel has written a comprehensive account of the films made in Nazi Germany, including the notorious feature film, "Jüd Suss", and the compilation documentary "Der Ewige Jude". She explores in detail how the film makers were controlled and used by the regime. She also examines other less well-known films featuring Jewish characters, including how their image differs from film to film. In such films she provides historical context to government policies concerning the Jews. Newsreels and documentaries and their place within a cinema program are discussed as are the two documentaries made in Theresienstadt under the SS. She also looks at the industry itself, its reorganization, funding, the interventions of the Propaganda Ministry, the compromises which people had to make, the careerism and the dangers which some faced.
