Summary: From disc menu summary: This 2009 documentary, featuring historian Sylvie Lindeperg, explores French collective memory of the Holocaust in the decade following World War II. Through the use of concentration camp footage, Lindeperg reflects on the reations of historians, former detainees, and the public to the 1955 release of "Night and Fog". From IMDb: French film and WWII historian Sylvie Lindeperg analyzes Alain Resnais's seminal 1956 film, "Night and Fog", and attempts to place it in the context of the historical treatment of WWII, and specifically of the Holocaust, in the decade following those harrowing events. Oddly, she argues that the images of Resnais's famous film are "powerless", in her words.
