Watching the film and seeing the survivors and the perpertrators speak to the director about what they witnessed gives the viewer one type of experience. Having the words right there in front of you gives you another. You read the lines over and over again because you can't believe what you just read.

A line that I will never forget comes from Itzhak Zuckerman, second-in-command of the Jewish Combat Organization, a resistance group in the Warsaw ghetto. He says, "Claude, you asked for my impression. If you could lick my heart, it would poison you. Sep 27, Eva Leger rated it liked it Shelves: b-non-fictionholocaust-wwii. I don't normally read texts of films though so maybe there's something I don't know.

I borrowed this from my library because everywhere I looked the DVD cost hundreds of dollars. Then I had the bright idea to check eBay. Or, well, actually, a friend told me to. And it was there, my region, for cheap. I haven't watched the film Shoah: The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film so I can't speak on that.

This is most definitely worth reading in my opinion, if only because it's handled differently here. Raul Hilberg talks about the progression of hate, on pages and it stuck with me. He said, " I found Dr. Franz Grassler's testimony the most intriguing. Grassler was the deputy to Dr. Auerswald, Nazi commissioner of the Warsaw ghetto. His words seem so glib. So 'it's over, it didn't effect me to any harsh decree, why must we talk about it.

I look forward to seeing the film but as it's so long I have to not rush. I hope to get to it soon but just knowing it's here in my possession makes it easier to wait until I really have the time alone to devote to it.

Mar 13, Lisa Olson rated it liked it. This text is quite good but I look forward to seeing the movie as I think it would give a fuller image than just the transcripts. I also found a quote from a reputable source mentioning that "readers should be forewarned that Lanzmann disavows the English transcript, which is plagued by inaccuracies and which differs substantially in form from the French text prepared by Lanzmann himself," so I'm not sure what to make of Shoah: The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film.

Holocaust testimonies I have read, and Lanzmann claims that he left out the exceptional cases of violence because he was basing these testimonies on intelligence not emotions.

It was a good overview of the roles and opinions of Jews, Germans, and Poles during the Holocaust. Of course one must acknowledge that Shoah does not give the whole picture as Shoah: The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film focusses solely on the persecution of Jews in Poland, while many others were persecuted, and in many other countries.

It also does not portray the Poles particularly well and does not mention the Poles who helped Jews during the war. I don't see too much of a problem with this as long as we acknowledge that he has not covered the entirety of the Holocaust in Shoah, nor the entirety of Poles.

Haven't seen the movie. Book is rather shocking, distrubing, and engrossing. Jun 18, John rated it it was amazing. Aug 31, Stephen Kelly rated it it was amazing Shelves: 20th-centurygermanypolandczech-republicaustriafrancegreecehungaryswitzerlandisrael.

I read this in conjunction with viewing the nine hour film, in several sittings over a period of a couple weeks. I would recommend watching the film first, although I can't say what effect the book might have on its own. The five stars are for the movie, technically, although the book serves as a useful supplement. But it's the documentary that is the masterpiece.

A world where people wear Hawaiian shirts, where children sometimes walk alongside their bicycles, and where old men pay to get haircuts.

A world where people are overworked and complain about their jobs, where not having a flush toilet in your home can seem appallingly primitive, and where children under four can ride trains for free.

A world with railroads and moving vans and travel agencies and typewriters. The grass was green at Auschwitz in the summertime, then and now, a living body exposed to exhaust fumes will suffocate, and a dead body exposed to ash will turn to flames. An unprecedented and devastatingly horrible thing happened, but it happened among trees and highways and very boring looking people who just wanted to keep on doing their jobs without worrying too much about the world outside of themselves.

Oct 04, Hilary rated it it was amazing. This book is a text of the movie which I have not yet seen. It is shocking, horrific, and inhuman at times. It is hard to believe the nazis who were interviewed could take such a blase attitude about murder and death. I guess after seeing it day in and day out, one becomes immune. How people could do this to others simply because they were different than you is, unfortunately, something that our current president ran his campaign on and won.

Shoah: The Complete Text Of The Acclaimed Holocaust Film by Claude Lanzmann

Shoah is a French documentary film about the Holocaust[a] directed by Claude Lanzmann. Over nine hours long and 11 years in the making, the film presents Lanzmann's interviews with survivors, witnesses and perpetrators during visits to German Holocaust sites across Polandincluding extermination camps.

The entire minute film was digitally restored and remastered by The Criterion Collection over —13 in 2K resolutionfrom the original 16 mm negatives. The monaural audio track was remastered without compression. A Blu-ray edition in three disks was then produced from these new masters, including three additional films by Lanzmann. Bomba breaks down while describing how a barber friend of his came across his wife and sister while cutting hair in an anteroom of the gas chamber.

This section includes Henryk Gawkowskiwho drove transport trains while intoxicated with vodka. Gawkowski's photograph appears on the poster used for the film's marketing campaign. He breaks down as he recalls the prisoners starting to sing while being forced into the gas chamber.

Accounts include some from local villagers, who witnessed trains heading daily to the camp and returning empty; they quickly guessed the fate of those on board.

Lanzmann also interviews bystanders. He asks whether they knew what was going on in the death camps. Their answers reveal that they did, but they justified their inaction by the fear of death. Walter Stier, a former Nazi bureaucrat, describes the workings of the railways. Stier insists he was too busy managing railroad traffic to notice his trains were transporting Jews to their deaths.

The Warsaw ghetto is described by Jan Karskia member of the Polish Underground who worked for the Polish government-in-exileand Franz Grasslera Nazi administrator in Warsaw Shoah: The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film liaised with Jewish leaders. A Christian, Karski Shoah: The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film into the Warsaw ghetto and travelled using false documents to England to try

to convince the Allied governments to intervene more strongly on behalf of the Jews.

Memories from Jewish survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising conclude the documentary. Lanzmann also interviews Holocaust historian Raul HilbergShoah: The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film discusses the significance of Nazi propaganda against the European Jews and the Nazi development of the Final Solution and a detailed analysis of railroad documents showing the transport routes to the death camps.

The complete text of the film was published in Suchomel talks in detail about the camp's gas chambers and the disposal of bodies. He states that he did not know about the extermination at Treblinka until he arrived there. On his first day he says he vomited and cried after encountering trenches full of corpses, 6—7 m deep, with Shoah: The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film earth around them moving in waves because of the gases. The smell of the bodies carried for kilometres depending on the wind, he said, but local people were scared to act in case they were sent to the work camp, Treblinka 1.

He Shoah: The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film that from arrival at Treblinka to death in the gas chambers took 2—3 hours for a trainload of people. Suchomel told Lanzmann that he would ask the hairdressers to slow down so that the women would not have to wait so long outside. Compared to the size and complexity of AuschwitzSuchomel calls Treblinka "primitive.

But a well-functioning assembly line of death. The publicity poster for the film features Henryk Gawkowski, a Polish train worker from Malkiniawho, in — when he was 20—21 years old, [18] worked on the trains to Treblinka as an "assistant machinist with the right to drive the locomotive". Lanzmann hired a steam locomotive similar to the one Gawkowski worked on, and shows the tracks and a sign for Treblinka.

Gawkowski told Lanzmann that every train had a Polish driver and assistant, accompanied by German officers.

He would have killed Hitler himself had he been able to, he told Lanzmann. A train carrying Jews was called a Sonderzug special train ; the "cargo"

was given false papers to disguise that humans beings were being hauled. Gawkowski drove trains to the Treblinka train station and from the station into the camp itself.

The gesture would cause chaos in those convoys, he said; passengers would try to jump out or throw their children out. I have sympathy for him because he carries a truly open wound that does not heal. Lanzmann was commissioned by Israeli officials to make what they thought would be a two-hour film, delivered in 18 months, about the Holocaust from "the viewpoint of the Jews".

Shoah took eleven years to make. The film was unusual in that it did not include any historical footage, relying instead on interviewing witnesses and visiting the crime scenes. Some German interviewees were reluctant to talk and refused to be filmed, so Lanzmann used a hidden

cameraproducing a grainy, black-and-white appearance. During one interview, with Heinz Schubertthe covert recording was discovered by Schubert's family, and Lanzmann was physically attacked.

He was hospitalized for a month and charged by the authorities with "unauthorized use of the German airwaves". Lanzmann arranged many of Shoah: The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film scenes, but not the testimony, before filming witnesses.

For example, Bomba was interviewed while cutting his friend's hair in a working barbershop; a steam locomotive was hired to recreate the journey the death train conductor had taken while transporting Jews; and the opening scene shows Srebnik singing in a rowboat, similarly to how he had

"serenaded his captors". The first six years of production were devoted to the recording of interviews in 14 different countries. After the shooting, editing of the hours of raw footage continued for five years.

The matching of testimony to places became a "crucial trope of the film". Shoah was made without voice-over translations. The questions and answers were kept on the soundtrack, along with the voices of the interpreters, [30] with subtitles where necessary. Videos of excerpts from the interviews are available for viewing online, and linked transcripts can be downloaded from the museum's website. The film received numerous nominations and awards at film festivals around the world.

Hailed as a masterpiece by many critics, Shoah was described in The New York Times as "an epic film about the greatest evil of modern times".

Incritic Roger Ebert described it as "an extraordinary film" and "one of the noblest films ever made". It is an act of witness.

The website's critical consensus states: "Expansive in its beauty as well as its mind-numbing horror, Shoah is a towering Shoah: The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film and utterly singular — achievement in cinema.

Time Out and The Guardian listed Shoah as the best Shoah: The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film of all time in and respectively.

The film was criticized in Poland. Mieczyslaw Biskupski wrote that Lanzmann's "purpose in making the film was revealed by his comments that he 'fears' Poland and that the death camps could not have been constructed in France because the 'French peasantry would not have tolerated them '

".

Or, were they exterminated along with the Jews as subhuman? On 27 Januarythe 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration campthe Berlin International Literature Festival invited diverse cultural institutions worldwide to participate in a screening of the film. Lanzmann released four feature-length films based on unused material shot for Shoah.

All four are included in the Masters Shoah: The Complete Text of the Acclaimed Holocaust Film Cinema Blu-ray release of the film. The Guardian.
