Noting that the Holocaust has become a metaphor as well as paradigm for modern tragedy, Doneson (Holocaust and film, Washington U., St. Louis) examines how anti-Semitism and Nazi persecution have been treated in films, The Diary of Anne Frank in post-war America, the effect of 1960s-1979s social upheaval on such movies, and issues of historical representation and memory. Includes photos, a filmography, and acknowledgments for the 1987 edition. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review
Her book is a reminder that all of us who pursue the study of Holocaust cinema today are deeply indebted to her. ― Shofar
Explores how depictions of the Holocaust in modern film and television have transformed it into a metaphor for human suffering. Doneson focuses on the Americanization of the Holocaust and the Jewish experience, particularly how images of the Holocaust were reflected during the political and cultural upheaval of the 1960s. ― Variety
