Spielberg's Holocaust: Critical Perspectives on Schindler's List by Yosefa Loshitzky

This anthology of essays on Steven Spielberg's 1993 film is a solid achievement. It is a repository of considerable critical insight and frequently passionate argument. -Holocaust and Genocide Studies

An excellent collection; highly recommended for general readers and students at all levels. -Choice

This collection of essays opens further the debate on how to represent the Holocaust as Holocaust representation and memory move into ever-greater areas of daily American and Jewish American culture. -Tikkun

Schindler's List not only afforded director Steven Spielberg a cinematic vehicle loaded with Hollywood-hardware to create his master narrative about the Holocaust, the film also invited a renewed scholarly and intellectual discussion about racism, historical voyeurism and the limits of representation. This thought-provoking critical anthology tackles these issues and many others.
