What Shoah Is About
Claude Lanzmann worked for eleven years and assembled nine and a half hours without using a single frame of archive footage. The camera keeps returning to three groups of people: those who survived, those who watched from nearby, and those who carried it out. It goes back to Chelmno, Treblinka, Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Warsaw Ghetto, but what is shown is not the past, only the empty ground as it stands now and the people speaking on it. The method becomes the argument: the Holocaust arrives not as footage but as the difficulty of remembering.
