There's nothing funny about it. But survival, and what it takes to survive, there can be humor in that.” -Rob Reiner, Director “I am…privy to many of the films that are released on a yearly basis about the Holocaust. I cannot think of one project that has taken the approach of THE LAST LAUGH. THE LAST LAUGH dispels the notion that there is nothing new to say or to reveal on the subject because this aspect of survival is one that very few have explored in print and no one that I know of has examined in a feature documentary.” -Richard Tank, Executive Director at the Simon Wiesenthal Center SHORT SYNOPSIS THE LAST LAUGH is a feature documentary about what is taboo for humor, seen through the lens of the Holocaust and other seemingly off-limits topics, in a society that prizes free speech.

    The Parkes Institute for the study of Jewish/non-Jewish relations Annual Review 2015 - 2016 In summer 2016, Kathrin Pieren and Tony Kushner organised the first Parkes International Workshop on 1 Jewish Heritage, generously supported by the Rothschild Foundation Europe (Hanadiv). See page 13 for the full report. Here, the value of the hand-in-hand of museum work and academic research was illustrated by the excellent talk by Dr Alla Sokolova, Curator at the State Museum of the History Religions in St Petersburg and Lecturer at the European University of St Petersburg. She presented the results of a field study related to an exhibition of Jewish family heirlooms that she organised a few years ago. The exhibits, many of them everyday items such as photographs or pieces of clothing, were charged with meaning by the lenders, Jewish individuals, some of whom are shown in the pictures on this page. 3 3 4 7 2 1.

The more highly charged the event, the more evocative it is, the greater the incentive to become invested in different versions of it.”1 This is true of any historic event, but quite possibly the best event to fit this description is the Holocaust of the Jews in Europe. Those of us who did not endure the concentration camps have no way to know exactly how it felt to be in that situation. Elie Wiesel said this while criticizing the acclaimed mini-series Holocaust.2 We only know what we have seen in the representation of the event, so we have seen different versions of the Shoah3.

  • 1 42.347 Dr. Stallbaumer-Beishline Holocaust Through Hollywood's
    1 42.347 Dr. Stallbaumer-Beishline Holocaust through Hollywood's Eyes Holocaust Films: “Imagining the Unimaginable” The average American's most extensive exposure to the Holocaust is through popular filmic presentations on either the "big screen" or television. These forums, as Ilan Avisar points out, must yield “to popular demands and conventional taste to assure commercial success."1 Subsequently, nearing the successful completion of this course means that you know more about the Holocaust than the average American. This assignment encourages you to think critically, given your broadened knowledge base, about how the movie-television industry has treated the subject. Film scholars have grappled with the unique challenge of Holocaust-themed films. Ponder their views as you formulate your own opinions about the films that you select to watch. Annette Insdorff, Indelible Shadows: Film and the Holocaust (1989) "How great a role are films playing in determining contemporary awareness of the Final Solution? . How do you show people being butchered? How much emotion is too much? How will viewers respond to light-hearted moments in the midst of suffering?" (xviii) "How do we lead a camera or a pen to penetrate history and create art, as opposed to merely recording events? What are the formal as well as moral responsibilities if we are to understand and communicate the complexities of the Holocaust through its filmic representations?" (xv) Ilan Avisar, Screening the Holocaust: Cinema's Images of the Unimaginable (1988) "'Art [including film making] takes the sting out of suffering.'" (viii) The need for popular reception of a film inevitably leads to "melodramatization or trivialization of the subject." (46) Hollywood/American filmmakers' "universalization [using the Holocaust to make statements about contemporary problems] is rooted in specific social concerns that seek to avoid burdening a basically indifferent public with unbearable facts of the Nazi genocide of the Jews.

  • Jerry Lewis Est Le Seul, À Hollywood, À Ne
    1 Jerry Lewis est le seul, à Hollywood, à ne pas tomber dans les catégories et normes établies." Lorsqu'il écrit cette louange, en 1963, Jean-Luc Godard vient de tourner Le mépris. Un sentiment que portent, précisément, les critiques américains au "génie" vanté par JLG. "Vivre aux États- Unis, constate l'historien du cinéma David Thompson, c'est affronter l'incrédulité des gens quand on leur parle avec sérieux de Jerry Lewis. Peu de griefs peuvent être retenus ici contre les Français qui soient aussi graves 2 que leur amour pour lui." Le petit juif de Newark aurait ainsi vécu sa vie d'artiste dans l'incompréhension de ses compatriotes, tandis qu'il serait une valeur comique prisée de ce côté-ci de l'Atlantique ? Méfions-nous des raccourcis, même si la condescendance des médias new-yorkais pour ses réalisations accentua la schizophrénie d'un créateur à la fois primitif et complexe, enfantin et malin, cool et névrosé. Né en 1926 dans le New Jersey, Joseph Levitch observe, dès son plus jeune âge, 3 ses parents faire la tournée des cabarets. Il n'est pas rare que sa mère, Rae Brodsky, accompagne au piano son père, Danny Lewis, dans ses numéros de clown et de vaudeville... loin de leur fils élevé, pendant ce temps, par mamie Brodsky. "Toute ma vie, j'ai eu peur d'être seul", racontera plus tard Jerry. Redoutant d'être abandonné et désireux d'imiter ses parents, Joey a 6 ans lorsqu'il monte, pour la première fois, sur scène afin de chanter. Cinq ans plus tard, il met au point un gag avec une amie, lui faisant remuer la 4 bouche en play-back sur un disque de chansons interprétées par des célébrités.

    Up from the Borscht Belt: Jerry Lewis, Jewish GeniusAn Historical Review/J. Dorinson 144 Up from the Borscht Belt: Jerry Lewis, Jewish Genius An Historical Review Joseph Dorinson1 ABSTRACT The French love Jerry Lewis because he fused hysteria, regression, and physical comedy on both stage and screen while American audiences were more ambivalent in response to our “sacred monster.” This revisionist study attempts to show Mr. Lewis in a more positive light as modern Renaissance Man—actor, comedian, auteur, director, teacher, philanthropist-- who wrestled with knotty issues of cultural identity, physical pain, family dysfunction, and a roller-coaster career in comedy. Rediscovering his Jewish roots, Jerry Lewis found inner-peace, fruition in creativity, and that the French were right after all. Keywords: Sacred Monster, psychic splitting, Putz and the Playboy, male bonding, Tzadakah, tumbler, Borscht Belt Introduction The Early Life of Joseph Levitch If Jesus saves, then Moses invests. And that's a six-percent difference; advantage to our tribe. Jews are funny people: funnier in fact than highly serious followers of Christ.

  • Holocaust Filmography & Tvography
    1 Holocaust through Hollywood's Eyes Dr. Stallbaumer-Beishline Hollywood is being defined here as produced in or by Americans or distributed to American audiences. Subsequently, most of the films are in English. The Holocaust may refer narrowly to the extermination of European Jews or more broadly victims of Nazi racism; perpetrators; bystanders; and post-war trials and tribulations of survivors, perpetrators, or bystanders. The Holocaust may be used as a plotting device that explains character motivations which raises question about the potential use or abuse of history in film. The list is divided into films or movies (Filmography) and made for television films or episodes (TVography). Wikipedia maintains a useful list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Holocaust_films organized chronologically into films and documentaries. Filmography1 Adam Resurrected "In the aftermath of WWII, a former circus entertainer who was spared from the gas chamber becomes the ringleader at an asylum for Holocaust survivors." 2008. Amen "During WWII SS officer Kurt Gerstein tries to inform Pope Pius XII about Jews being sent to concentration camps. Young Jesuit priest Riccardo Fontana gives him a hand." Dir. Costa- Gavras. 2002. Apt Pupil “A boy blackmails his neighbour after suspecting him to be a Nazi war criminal.” 1998. The Aryan Couple (or The Couple) "A WWII Drama about a German/Jewish industrialist who, in order to ensure his family's safe passage out of Germany, is forced to hand over his business to the Nazis." 2004. The Assisi Underground "Based on the best-selling documentary novel, this film sheds light on the work done by the Catholic Church and the people of Assisi to rescue several hundred Italian Jews from Nazi execution following the German occupation of Italy in 1943."
