[ecrea] New book: “Women in European Holocaust Films"

Ingrid Lewis (DkIT, Ireland) is very pleased to announce the publication 
of her monograph “Women in European Holocaust Films: Perpetrators, 
Victims and Resisters” (Palgrave Macmillan).

This book considers how women’s experiences have been treated in films 
dealing with Nazi persecution. Focusing on fiction films made in Europe 
between 1945 and the present, this study explores dominant discourses on 
and cinematic representation of women as perpetrators, victims and 
resisters. Ingrid Lewis contends that European Holocaust Cinema 
underwent a rich and complex trajectory of change with regard to the 
representation of women. This change both reflects and responds to key 
socio-cultural developments in the intervening decades as well as to new 
directions in cinema, historical research and politics of remembrance. 
The book will appeal to international scholars, students and educators 
within the fields of Holocaust Studies, Film Studies, European Cinema 
and Women’s Studies.
“An impressive and overdue entry into Holocaust Studies literature”. 
(Wendy Lower, Professor of History, Claremont McKenna College, USA)
“Demonstrable expertise, clarity of writing, breadth of coverage and 
sophistication of approach are all notable features of this excellent 
and important study.” (Barry Langford, Professor of Film Studies, Royal 
Holloway, University of London, UK)
“This book provides a formidable and discerning overview that profoundly 
alters our understanding of the forms and evolution of the 
representation of women and their roles—as perpetrators, victims and 
resisters—in European Holocaust cinema.” (Laura Rascaroli, Professor of 
Film and Screen Media, University College Cork, Ireland)
“Ingrid Lewis endeavours to investigate the representation of women 
across a considerably diverse range of European Holocaust films, deftly 
exposing the marginalisation of women in the genre with great skill”. 
 (Adam Brown, Senior Lecturer in Digital Media at Deakin University, 
Australia)
