Film Showing: De Hollywood a Nuremberg
Sunday, January 5: 1:00PM - 3:00 PM
Film: De Hollywood a Nuremberg

A documentary by Christian Delage produced in France in 2012.
Three of the greatest American filmmakers, John Ford, George Stevens and Samuel Fuller, filmed the horrors of World War II including documentation of the liberation of the concentration camps. Their films were used during the Nuremburg Trials as evidence of the atrocities of the war.

The experience of these three war filmmakers is unique in the history of Hollywood. Stevens and Ford ran two special units, one under the authority of General Eisenhower and the other for the OSS (forerunner of the CIA). Fuller was a simple rifleman in the first division of infantry of the U.S. Army who shot footage with his own camera.

This presentation will include a faculty led discussion about the film.
Film running time: 54 minutes. Faculty Presentation: 60 minutes. The film will be shown in English.

Shown in conjuction with the exhibition: Hélène Berr, A Stolen Life.
The exhibition, Hélène Berr, A Stolen Life, was curated by Karen Taïeb and Sophie Nagiscarde, and was designed, created, and circulated by Mémorial de la Shoah (Paris, France) and made possible through the generous support of SNCF.
