Cinematography of the Holocaust   Documentation and record of moving image materials. A project of the Fritz Bauer Institute, Frankfurt am Main This ninth Internet edition (July, 2006) of the database of the Cinematography of the Holocaust project contains information on 1,731 films. The focus is on films in English (from the USA, Israel, etc.). In addition, the database presents a selection of relevant films from Germany before 1945, from the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Democratic Republic, France, Italy, etc. A balance has been tried to achieve between various formats and genres. The film selection covers long and short films, feature and documentaries, films for cinema and TV, US Army Signal Corps newsreels, fundraiser films, etc. Ratings for quality and importance of films have not been taken into consideration; i.e. there is no attempt at any kind of canonization. The database has been prepared for bilingual presentation in English and German. This applies to most of the formal data, as well as to abstracts or summaries. All other information and texts, such as the extensive shotlists are either in German or in English. The database offers free-text searching across the entire film descriptions as well as index-based searches on film titles, personal names, and corporate bodies. Furthermore, films can be searched by subject terms taken from a thesaurus for National Socialism and the Holocaust.
