I plan on doing my history undergraduate dissertation / thesis on cultural differences in the depictions of the Holocaust focusing specifically on Hollywood, Israel and Germany.
The two main films I'm going to focus on are Schindlers List and The Shoah.
Can you guys recommend any good German films or any other historically accurate holocaust films.
Thanks!
Hello, I recently finished my undergraduate and also did my dissertation on the Holocaust!
You should definitely check out 'A Film Unfinished' - it's a movie that uses Nazi propaganda material to show life inside the Warsaw Ghetto. The content of this film could be useful for your thesis, as it shows how the Nazis wanted the world to see the Ghettos.
Couple of tips, I'm sure your supervisor will tell you this too, I know it can be difficult but try remain unbiased: don't use words such as 'evil' or 'monster' to describe the Nazis etc.
Best of luck!
Nazi Human Experimentation - with a focus on Sigmund Rascher's High Altitude and Hypothermia experiments. My thesis was 12k words in total; it's a great feeling when you finish it!
