Description
Geographies of the Holocaust, edited by Anne Kelly Knowles, Tim Cole, and Alberto Giordano.
This book explores the geographies of the Holocaust at every scale of human experience, from the European continent to the experiences of individual human bodies. Built on six innovative case studies, it brings together historians, geographers, and geographic information scientists to interrogate the places and spaces of the genocide. The cases encompass the landscapes of particular places (the killing zones in the East, deportations from sites in Italy, the camps of Auschwitz, the ghettos of Budapest) and the intimate spaces of bodies on evacuation marches. Geographies of the Holocaust puts forward models and a research agenda for different ways of visualizing and thinking about the Holocaust by examining the spaces and places where it was enacted and experienced.
Testimony: The Legacy of Schindler's List and the USC Shoah Foundation. Introduction by Steven Spielberg.
Honoring the twentieth anniversary of the film Schindler's List and the inimitable project it germinated, the USC Shoah Foundation has produced Testimony: The Legacy of the Schindler¿s List and the USC Shoah Foundation, a book of eponymous testimony and testament to the lasting significance and influence of Steven Spielberg's twin masterpiece. Accordingly, the volume is split evenly into two halves: "Schindler's List: The Making of the Film" and "Living Testimonies: The Legacy of the Shoah Foundation."
Behind-the-scenes photographs from the set of Schindler's List and still images from the film accompany a detailed account of the film's journey from novel to screen to its win for Best Picture at the 1994 Academy Awards and everything in between. Spielberg, producers, cast members and crew provide exclusive insights into the filmmakers' creative process and the intense and emotional shoot on location in Poland.
As filming wrapped, Spielberg began to form the idea for what would later become the USC Shoah Foundation as a way to continue to record the stories of Holocaust survivors, many of whom visited the Schindler's List set. The second part of Testimony details the 20-year history of the Shoah Foundation and its race to collect and preserve the testimonies of over 50,000 Holocaust survivors and, later, the survivors of other genocides.
