Navigating Catastrophe in Cinema of Jewish Experience - Five Studies in Mass Media and Mass Destruction

Analyzes six films of Jewish experience made between 1899 and 1947, exploring their relation to what the authors calls the "era of catastrophe," which is defined as 1914-45-a time that witnessed the two World Wars, a burgeoning of stateless peoples, wide-spread political polarization, the rise of fascist and totalitarian regimes; radical antisemitism and other ethnic hatreds; mass slaughter of peoples, classes, and political enemies; and often cutthroat battles for control of mass media, popular culture, and, however battered, the public sphere.
