 Art of Iran- The History of Cinema in Iran By: Reza Talachian
The early history of film making in Iran is far from clear because of a lack of easily accessible data, death of the early motion pictures pioneers and loss of almost all the early footage.
Considering that Reza Shah was one of the more progressive monarchs in the recent history of Iran, and since he was fascinated by the means of modernization, it is odd that he could not conceive the role and the importance of the motion picture industry in society.

 R. Binning, The Shoah Foundation’s Attempt to Address Poland’s Complicated Past
Poland was home to the largest Jewish population in 1939, but ninety percent of Polish Jews died in the Holocaust.
In Poland it was understood that if a Pole was caught hiding a Jew the punishment was death for the individual hiding the Jew as well as for all who collaborated, which often included the Pole’s family.
Based on information about Poland’s history, the debates that have taken place, the relative current attitude of the Poles towards the Jews, and Poland’s school curriculum on the Holocaust, it is possible to analyze whether the Shoah Foundation’s educational film I Remember specifically caters to the issues that Poland needs to address.

Poland changed the course of history in 1989 by becoming the first Eastern European state to break free of communism, proving the truth of Stalin's 1944 comment that fitting communism onto Poland was like putting a saddle on a cow.
Poland is the only major state in European history to disappear from the map and reappear later after a lapse of more than a century.
The shattered Poland emerging from the rubble of the World War II was reconstituted as a communist state and incorporated within the newly formed Soviet sphere of influence in the Eastern Europe, despite the will of the overwhelming majority of Poles.

 World cinema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
World cinema is a term used primarily in the West to refer to the films and film industries of non-English language speaking countries.
World cinema has an un-official implication of films with an "artistic value" as opposed to "Hollywood commercialism." Foreign films are often grouped with "Art House films" in DVD stores, cinema listings etc. Thus the title "World Cinema" has an inferred artistic prestige.
Of course, foreign films can be commercial, low brow or B-movies, so to automatically assume that World cinema is "arty" or intellectual is erroneous.

The Holocaust itself is hardly mentioned, but because the film paints such a vivid picture of Jewish society in Poland prior to the second World War — visually illuminating the details of that society and the people that were destroyed — that it substantiates the depth of loss with distinct poignancy.
Because Poland was a highly stratified society and because he, as a young man, spoke and dressed very well, blue-collar Gentile workers would often take off their hats as he passed by.
Well into the film, Poland's partitioned existence upon entering the First World War is suddenly discussed: more than 100 years prior, Poland had ceased to exist nationally because every inch of it had been annexed to its neighbors.
