This Jewish presence represented a range of experience never before available for the German-speaking public's consumption."  ·  Austrian History Yearbook"this impressively comprehensive bookaccomplishes a great deal. Second, it interrogates the concept of the Jewish 'presence."  ·  Austrian History Yearbook"Prawer's impressively comprehensive book aims to show 'some of the ways in which Jews participated in the manifold work needed to create a film-in harmony with non-Jewish colleagues amid a spattering of voices raised to discriminate between them'. He successfully achieves his goal, while providing an excellent overview of popular genres of this periodIn around 200 pages, Prawer accomplishes a great deal. The strengths of this volume include its in-depth socio-historical background information on a great number of films, astute inter-filmic connections, and even some technical analysiss

This book examines how a variety of German and Austrian films treat aspects of Jewish life, at home and in the synagogue, and Jewish interaction with fellow Jews in different cultural environments; conflicts and accommodations between Jews and non-Jews at various times, ranging from the medieval to the contemporary. The author, one of the best known scholars in film history, theory and criticism, offers the reader a rich panorama of the many Jews involved in all spheres of the cinema and who, as the author reminds us repeatedly, together with their non-Jewish contemporaries, created a great industry and new forms of art..

Some of these characters are fictional; others, ranging from Rabbi Loew of Prague to Ferdinand Lassalle and Alfred Dreyfus, have a historic original

S. S. Prawer† (1925-2012) was a Fellow of The Queen's College, Oxford, the British Academy, and the German Academy of Language and Literature.

This bio is a monumental project and certainly wasn't thrown together in haste.If I were hypercritical I might complain that there were times I found it hard to follow just who was being quoted, or if the author was simply relating his own experience, but I won't dwell on that. I have enjoyed his previous books since the early 90s on Knights Cross winners and this is the best one yet. His characters all have a great story line on their own, but all of his stories have a entertainment package to them. I purchased this Video training course about week ago and was surprised that included DVD is recorded in HDV format (.EVO files). He is a man of letters, a writer -and one of the very best from Argentina- it takes you only the reading of the first sentence "Oh, Shadow of Facundo" to realize that you are in the dark territory of myth, not of the clean, sunny history classroom.This book, like many great books, escape the incarceration of genre, but if there is one thin
