As a window into the process whereby the Holocaust has been appropriated in American culture, Hollywood movies are particularly luminous. Popular Culture and the Shaping of Holocaust Memory in America examines reactions to three films: Judgement at Nuremberg (1961), The Pawnbroker (1965), and Schindler's List (1992), and considers what those reactions reveal about the place of the Holocaust in the American mind, and how those films have shaped the popular perception of the Holocaust. It also considers the difference in the reception of the two earlier films when they first appeared in the 1960s and retrospective evaluations of them from closer to our own times. Alan Mintz also addresses the question of how Americans will shape the memory of the Holocaust in the future, concluding with observations on the possibilities and limitations of what is emerging as the major resource for the shaping of Holocaust memory -- videotaped survivor testimony. Popular Culture and the Shaping of Holocaust Memory in America examines some of the influences behind the broad and deep changes in American consciousness and the social forces that permitted the Holocaust to move from the margins to the center of American discourse. 410 0$aSamuel and Althea Stroum lectures in Jewish studies 606 $aCulture in motion pictures 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xAttitudes 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in motion pictures 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xHistoriography 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xInfluence 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xForeign public opinion, American 615 0$aCulture in motion pictures. 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aJews$xAttitudes. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in motion pictures. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xHistoriography. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xInfluence. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$xForeign public opinion, American. 676 $a940.53/18 700 $aMintz$b Alan L$0862488 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816187103321 996 $aPopular culture and the shaping of Holocaust memory in America$93956383 997 $aUNINA
