Scripting Genocide : The Wannsee Conference on Television, 1960–2022

Abstract

Scripting Genocide traces the history of how and why the Wannsee Conference has repeatedly attracted the attention of American, British, and German screenwriters and filmmakers since 1960. This book investigates how the dramatic, fictionalized depictions of the Wannsee Conference offered filmmakers, and especially screenwriters, opportunities to be public historians.
