“The essays in Revisioning War Trauma in Cinema challenge us to re-vision well-known cinematic representations of the Holocaust through the lens of key insights from trauma studies. The authors’ lucid and accessible language renders reading their unsettling analyses an enriching journey into some of the most complex Holocaust films made. Scholars as well as aficionados of cinematic representations will find the authors’ re-visionings both absorbing and exciting.”
