The Phantom Holocaust tells a different story. The Soviets were actually among the first to portray these events on screens. In 1938, several films exposed Nazi anti-Semitism, and a 1945 movie depicted the mass execution of Jews in Babi Yar. Other significant pictures followed in the 1960's. But the more directly filmmakers engaged with the Holocaust, the more likely their work was to be banned by state censors. Some films were never made while others came out in such limited release that the Holocaust remained a phantom on Soviet screens. Focusing on work by both celebrated and unknown Soviet directors and screenwriters, Olga Gershenson has written the first book about all Soviet narrative films dealing with the Holocaust from 1938 to 1991. In addition to studying the completed films, Gershenson analyzes the projects that were banned at various stages of production. The book draws on archival research and in-depth interviews to tell the sometimes tragic and sometimes triumphant stories of filmmakers who found authentic ways to represent the Holocaust in the face of official silencing. By uncovering little known works, Gershenson makes a significant contribution to the international Holocaust filmography. 410 0$aJewish Cultures of the World 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in motion pictures 606 $aJews in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$zSoviet Union 606 $aMotion picture industry$zSoviet Union 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in motion pictures. 615 0$aJews in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures 615 0$aMotion picture industry 676 $a791.43/658405318 700 $aGershenson$b Olga$01617044 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809758503321 996 $aThe phantom Holocaust$93948070 997 $aUNINA
