Däremot är de väldigt bra på att modifiera sin mytologi när ramarna av nödvändighet förändrats, modifikationer som ytterst kan dras tillbaka till revisionism i den ena eller andra formen och således får vi "Ninas resa". Holocaustschlock (haha!) i stil med "Förintelsen" eller "Flykten från Sobibor", ja jävlar, det var tider det.
Det har du helt ratt i. Filmmakarna verkar bli mindre och mindre benagna att visa det centrala i Forintelse-myten, d.v.s. gaskamrarna och likhanteringen, och fokuserar istallet pa det personliga eller ovedersagliga, sasom flykt, det allmanna livet i ghetton och koncentrationslager etc. Darav den underliga franvaron av gaskammare i
Schindler's List (minns scenen dar judarna trodde att de skulle gasas - och det kom vatten ur duschhuvudena!). Man forsoker gora gaskamrarna antingen till nagot som forbigas eller nagot i stil med det allra heligaste, nagot som bara det hogsta prasterskapet far skada. "The gas chambers should have remained closed to prying eyes", som Vesslan uttryckte det.
Nuit et broillard borde de visa.
Citat:
I had to watch this movie in my high school history class in 1972. For twenty years, I believed it. It's still required viewing in French schools.
NIGHT AND FOG is so filled with discredited information, it should be used as an example of period propaganda. Only a half hour long, you get to hear the most outrageous claims, not just that 9 million number (the impression you get is 9 million killed at Auschwitz, no matter what they intended).
Among other falsehoods:
In the scenes of bodies being bulldozed at Bergen-Belsen, they loop the film so that it looks like more bodies are being bulldozed than were available.
Soviet propaganda photos and forgeries, like that "bucket of heads", is presented as fact.
The movie claims that people were made into soap.
The movie claims that people were made into lampshades.
There's a montage of the shower room at Buchenwald, presented as being a "gas chamber".
The most blatant falsehood is a closeup of the walls at Krema 1 in Auschwitz 1. They claim to show fingernail marks where the victims tried to claw their way out.
As you probably know, Krema 1 was a five-room air raid shelter when the Russians found it, and was extensively rebuilt during 1948-49 to conform with what witnesses (who?) said was it's configuration during the short time it was alleged to be a gas chamber. The bricks in that wall are not original to the building, and could not have fingernail marks from 1941 or 1942 on them.
There really isn't a minute of truth in the 32 minute running time of the movie. You can rent it at Blockbuster, a fun game is to count the lies the movie tells.
My outrage when I discovered the lies this movie tells is what turned me into a revisionist. I wrote my high school history teacher asking him why he presented us a fraudulent film, he apologized and said it was the best information available at the time. As it is, this movie is STILL shown in U.S. middle schools and high schools and presented as fact, and that does make me very angry.
