Imaginary Witness: Hollywood and the Holocaust
June 19, 6:30pm - 9:30pmManoa Campus, Yukiyoshi Room, Krauss Hall 012
Screening of the film "Imaginary Witness: Hollywood and the Holocaust" plus a panel discussion. Film preceded by a light nosh from Yudi's (Kosher) Deli.
Directed by Academy Award nominee and Emmy winner Daniel Anker, with narration by Gene Hackman, "Imaginary Witness" tells the story of the American film industry`s complex and fascinating response to the the horrors of Nazi Germany.
Utilizing extraordinary and rarely-seen film and told through first-hand accounts of directors, actors, writers, and producers and historians (including Steven Spielberg; Sidney Lumet; Rod Steiger; George Stevens Jr.; Annette Insdorf; Michael Berenbaum and others), the film takes us from the American ambivalence and denial during the heyday of Nazism, through the silence of the post-war years, and into the present day.
Panelists include UH-Manoa Department of History Associate Professors Mimi Henriksen, Herbert Ziegler, and Peter Hoffenberg.
Funding provided by the UH Fund for the Promotion of Jewish Life and Studies.
