Koch Lorber Films presents “IMAGINARY WITNESS: HOLLYWOOD AND THE HOLOCAUST” (25 December 2007) (92 mins/B&W/Color) (Dolby Digital) — This is an expertly made documentary on Hollywood, not objective how they handled one topic, but how they are embroiled in unusual politics — There will be some surprises to some moviegoers and clips from some relatively unknown gems, some of which I have never seen and will now study out! — Otherwise, I have to give this documentary a astronomical thumbs up — Narrated by Gene Hackman and featuring a distinguished series of clips and interviews, IMAGINARY Observe is a revelation, not least for its astronomical inclusion of material from BEFORE the Holocaust even happened, including American newsreel footage of Nazi book burning that treat it like a fraternity prank and pre-war Hollywood films in which characters refer to Jews as non Aryans — This is one documentary not to be missed.

Total Time: 92 mins on DVD ~ KOCH Lorber Films ~ (01/13/2009)

I found this documentary to be a compelling witness. It begins with an explanation for the lack of portrayal in Hollywood movies about the rising Nazi threat serve in the early 1940s. The reason for this was due to the fact that Germany accounted for 10% of Hollywood’s foreign market. But economics wasn’t the only reason for the dearth of anti-Nazi depictions in movies made by Hollywood. There was quite a bit of anti-semitism within the US itself – e.g. the Ku Klux Klan and the German Bunde [sic], an organization that was based in the US and represented the interests of the ample German population in the States did not want to behold attacks on Hitler or the Nazis.

Yet, there were some compelling portrayal of life under the Nazis and how it affected the Jews. Movies like The Mortal Storm with Jimmy Stewart told the sage of a honorable, upper middle class Jewish family in Germany and how the anti-semitic movement in Germany under Hitler and the Nazis affects them. There are also movies like The big Dictator starring Charlie Chaplin [who funded the movie himself], playing dual roles of a Jewish barber and a parody of Hitler. It was in the Ample Dictator that the word “Jew” is first referenced in a Hollywoood production [even in the Mortal Storm, the phrase "non-Aryan" is worn when referencing Jews].

This is a well-researched documentary and for someone like me who is interested on anything to do with the Holocaust and WW II history, I found it to be a minefield of inviting historical facts and trivia. I made a list of classic movies that I conception to gawk up and add to my library – movies like “To Be or Not to Be”, starring Carole Lombard [a comedic attack on Nazi ideology], None Shall Rush [1944], The Search [1948], and Singing in the Shaded [1956].

Besides covering the classic movies dealing with the Holocaust, there are also references to more contemporary productions such as Schindler’s List, Sophie’s Choice, War and Remembrance [1988 mini-series], and of course Holocaust [1978 mini-series].

A must-watch documentary for those keen in the Holocaust and Hollywood’s depiction of it through the years.
