	Shoah - Comments about Interview with Abraham Bomba
		Lanzmann did this to provoke real emotions in order to give the skeptics a chance to realize that the Holocaust was not fabricated: that these are human beings with true emotions, who survived a true hell.
		Lanzmann, however, pushes him to continue, and this is perhaps the hardest part of the scene to watch.
		Lanzmann clearly wants Bomba to have the breakdown which he eventually does, and his method of taking Bomba to that point is as ingenious as the scene he created.

	SHOAH'S ABSENCE, by Fred Camper
		Lanzmann has spoken of the Germans' attempts to destroy the records of their genocide, and of having to make his film out of "traces of traces," but it is clear that the exclusion of images from that time, perhaps the filmmaker's single most important decision, was an aesthetic and, most importantly, moral choice.
		Lanzmann's images have the opposite effect to that of images of corpses, which are so overwhelming that they become complete in themselves, irrefutable facts about which no other image can speak, and ultimately reek only of death.
		Lanzmann's meditation is instead a dual one: on death, and on the life that was lost, the life that might have been, and to achieve this, his imagery must be open, his shots must refer to the imagination, to each other, to the unimaginable, rather than to the closure of a corpse.

	ONEWORLD 2002 JEDENSVĚT
		Lanzmann's work is testimony to the power and importance of oral histroy and film's unique ability to capture not only the words but the emotions behind what the subjects say.
		Lanzmann weaves together a mosaic of testimonies and reactions, from soldiers and their superior officers to zealous West Bank settlers.
		Lanzmann is superb in his questioning technique, circling Rossel, polite but insistent, and in this way is able to capture on film straight statements made by Rossel, with the cool air of a lifelong bureaucrat, that almost defy imagination: "Do you regret your report?" the director asks Rossel.

	French culture \| cinema \| Claude Lanzmann: Sobibor (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Lanzmann combines interview footage shot in 1979 with panoramic shots of the area in and around Warsaw and Sobibor today.
		The interview itself is captivating; Yehuda Lerner, one of the leaders of the revolt, tells his remarkable story, from his arrival in one camp to his escape from eight camps prior to his pivotal role in the uprising.
		Omitted from the classic Shoah, this 1979 interview between director Claude Lanzmann and concentration camp survivor Yehuda Lerner is an unsentimental celebration of Jewish perseverance at the Sobibor concentration camp.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: Sobibor, October 14, 1943, 4 P.M.
		Omitted from the classic Shoah, this 1979 interview between director Claude Lanzmann and Lerner is an unsentimental celebration of Jewish perseverance at the Sobibor concentration camp.
		Lanzmann's slow-crawling camera stresses how Poland is still haunted by Hitler's slaughter: the moans of the dead seem embedded in blades of grass and pieces of stone.
		Lanzmann focuses on a field of geese as Lerner recalls the twisted poetry of Nazi pathology; spectators claimed that the Jews "cried like geese" when they were slaughtered (the animals were reared at some camps, provoked into quacking during exterminations).

	Claude Lanzmann - Films as director and writer:
		Claude Lanzmann has turned to extreme and difficult topics such as the Holocaust in order to address questions of Jewish identity.
		Lanzmann painstakingly recorded the details of the mass extermination of the Jews from the mouth of the murderers, all of whom deny actually doing or seeing the killing.
		Lanzmann insists that "the Holocaust is not a fairy-tale, it is not digestible." In keeping with this dictum, Lanzmann's films present contradictions of the past that remain unresolved.

	Confessions of a Holocaust Revisionist by Bradley R. Smith, Chapter Eleven
		Lanzmann expresses a little more curiosity about how Bomba cut his (for hasn't Bomba according to his own story become a working partner in the alleged genocide of his people?) victims hair than he did about how the gas chamber looked.
		Lanzmann urged Bomba to say something more about how he felt as he went about preparing the women and their children to be exterminated.
		Lanzmann might have asked perhaps how the SS were able to identify which of the naked women were married to which of the barbers.

	Shoah
		Lanzmann's exclusion of corpse and prisoner footage is partly a reaction to the overuse of such footage in previous films about the Nazi period.
		Lanzmann's first witness, a rare Treblinka survivor, begins the film by saying, "This is an untellable story." He then proceeds to describe the indescribable: how as a young boy shot in the head but not killed, he hid amidst a pile of corpses.
		Lanzmann also includes his own subterfuges—we see him lie to a Nazi to get his testimony—and his own rage, as when he confronts a former SS man with his camera, trying to get him to talk.

	Claude Lanzmann
		Invariably tough-minded and rigorous, Lanzmann draws from the man's memory, reconstructing the past with questions remarkable for their journalistic acuity and lack of sentimentalism, then sets the interview against images of modern Poland and models of the camp.
		Lanzmann originally slated the interview for Shoah but decided that the subject was too important to fold into the larger work.
		Claude Lanzmann was born in Paris in 1925 and served in the French Resistance during World War II.

	Interview: Claude Lanzmann \| Interviews \| Guardian Unlimited Film
		Somehow Lanzmann's technique delivered a more powerful sense of the reality of that stupendous crime than the explicit newsreel footage of the camps we had become accustomed to and whose impact had in some way become tamed.
		Lanzmann has a peculiarly Parisian conversational style - robust dismissal of a point which bores him, and scorn for issues he does not wish to discuss.
		Lanzmann ends his story at the point where young Lerner makes it to the forest and, with a sense of liberation and fatigue overcoming him, lies down and goes to sleep.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Claude Lanzmann - 1985 - Shoah Movies Review
		Early on the Lanzmann establishes the tone of the documentary when locating one of two survivors from one camp, back then a 13-year old who hid among dead bodies as the camp was being liquidated.
		Naturally, Lanzmann finds some reluctant participants, but he proves as relentless as Michael Moore in pursuing them and recording whatever their reactions are, and is often even pushier in his approach.
		Lanzmann sets out to cinematically record untold facets of Holocaust history, and he succeeds impressively with one of the most important historical projects of the century.

	Camden New Journal
		Claude Lanzmann came upon the story of the 1943 uprising of the Polish Sobibor concentration camp while researching his epic documentary Shoah.
		In Sobibor, Lanzmann combines Lerner’s interview of 1979 with shots of contemporary Warsaw and Sobibor, but much of the film is simply Lerner’s testimony.
		Lerner does us a tough service, and Lanzmann proves himself (again) to be a sensitive and talented documentarian – one full of enabling anger, and a rigorous fidelity to the experience of bearing witness to the Shoah.

		Claude Lanzmann's Tsahal is a film of five whole hours which is as disap¬pointing as it is long.
		Lanzmann's double standard is exposed by his attitude to another phenom¬enon familiar in Israel's former wars: in times of war, people abroad would rush home to join their units.
		This is the same Claude Lanzmann who, along with Jean-Paul Sartre, was one of the signers in 1960 of the historic manifesto of the 121 French per¬sonalities against the repression in Algeria, calling upon French youth to refuse to serve in an army which was trampling on Algerian aspirations for independence.

		Lanzmann solicits the testimonies of surviving camp prisoners, the Nazi operatives who were responsible for their detainment, and witnesses to every stage of the campaign of extermination.
		Lanzmann interviews each participant in a place where they now feel comfortable — in their living rooms, at the dinner table, or in a park.
		As stories are told, Lanzmann’s camera often leaves their faces to explore the now ruined and overgrown walls of the camps, to run down the train tracks leading into the camps, or, most horrifically, to wander through the gas chambers and crematoriums that were the sites of thousands upon thousands of deaths.

	Summer Sandhoff: From Night and Fog to Shoah
		Claude Lanzmann's documentary Shoah, with over nine hours of documentary and interview footage, is often praised as "the" masterpiece on the extermination of the European Jews.
		Claude Lanzmann wanted to show, through Oberhauser's silences, his avoidance of the camera, and refusal to answer questions, that Oberhauser does indeed remember Belzec and the overflowing graves and that he feels shameful about his deeds.
		Lanzmann's Shoah had to show this because he "felt that archive film of the death camps was losing its impact upon audiences." [22] Shoah's film style of interviews was needed during this time to juxtapose the violent attacks going on in France.

	Filmfestivals . com - Cannes 2001
		Claude Lanzman's Shoah (1985) remains the benchmark work on the Holocaust, a nine-hour movie which would actually be trivialised by appending the word 'epic'.
		Lanzmann has since become an unofficial spokesman for the cause, and it was he who criticised Steven Spielberg's decision to shoot Schindler's List in fl and white.
		This, warned Lanzmann, would distance the event in younger people's minds: the skies were just as blue over the death camps then as they would be today.
