	SHOAH'S ABSENCE, by Fred Camper
		Shoah's great achievement is to leave us with no such single abstractable image, which we might carry with us like an object as we leave the theater, our distilled essence of the filmmaker's expression to be filed away in the mind for future reference.
		Shoah's refusal to participate in cinema's mainstream aesthetic tradition of an art based on the qualities of image-making is a result of the way in which it organizes its materials, expressively, to point not toward the concrete but rather toward the construction of an emptiness, the null set.
		Shoah's great act of respect for the dead, which one might also choose to call a kind of resurrection, consists of the filmmaker stepping back from that which he cannot show and cannot know.

	DVD Talk > Reviews > Shoah
		"Shoah" is the Jewish word for the Holocaust and, perhaps more than any other work, this one encompasses as much of the experience as possible.
		Shoah begins with the story of Simon Srebnik, who was one of only two Jews out of 400,000 to survive the Chelmno camp in Poland.
		Lanzmann knows that the Shoah was a monument to suffering and his visual use of monuments of all kinds shows that.

	Shoah
		Lanzmann's triumphant achievement in "Shoah" is that the film transcends the forms of documentary and historical record to show how banality can make even the most horrible and vile acts of cold-blooded murder an acceptable part of everyday life.
		But as "Shoah" reveals the logic of mankind at its most vile and loathsome it also celebrates the sanctity and drive for life even under the most terrible conditions.
		"Shoah" is not a film of archaic attitudes but shouts to be seen as warning for our own fragile and menacing times.

	We Remember: A Reflection on the Shoah
		As we prepare for the beginning of the third millennium of Christianity, the Church is aware that the joy of a jubilee is above all the joy that is based on the forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God and neighbor.
		But the Shoah was certainly the worst suffering of all." The inhumanity with which the Jews were persecuted and massacred during this century is beyond the capacity of words to convey.
		The fact that the Shoah took place in Europe, that is, in countries of long- standing Christian civilization, raises the question of the relation between the Nazi persecution and the attitudes down the centuries of Christians towards the Jews.

		The Dictatorship of Imbecility -- Claude Lanzmann and 'Shoah'
		'Shoah' is a very complex narrative construction, built on circles and recurrence, sometimes four hours into the story..." If the film honestly presented the interviews one after the other, complete and uncut, the entire pyramid would crumble into absurdity.
		"Shoah" is also stultifying because few of its viewers understand Polish (badly translated, specialists say), and because viewers cannot compare what was said two hours earlier with what was said five hours earlier.

	Shoah (film review)
		Shoah is a Hebrew word which means catastrophe.
		The truth is that Hitler treated the Jews as his declared enemies, that he wanted to drive them out of Europe, and that he put many of them in labor and concentration camps.
		Their refusal to become interested in the film Shoah would be, if confirmed, a first sign of the younger generation's rejection of the official mythology, at least about the Second World War and its results.

		First, the Shoah was not a random act of mass murder nor simply the result of a war or ancient enmity between two peoples (as most other genocides are and have been).
		The Shoah must also be confronted within various contexts of general European history, especially of Germany and Austria, but also of all the other countries in which the Nazis were able to operate.
		While the Shoah was in many respects a unique event, victims of the all-too-numerous other incidents of mass murder will find analytical distinctions trivial to their experience of suffering.

		Were the choice between h.urban and sho'ah re-makable, there would be much to say for preferring h.urban: It had a deep Jewish historical resonance, an unmistakable sense of national calamity, that was missing in sho'ah, which could be used ñ and sometimes still is in Hebrew —; to refer to any calamity at all.
		Yet for better or for worse, "Holocaust," like "Shoah," became unquestioned standard usage, a seemingly objective name for its subject no less, say, than "the Civil War" is for the 1861-1865 American conflict between North and South.
		One good thing about "Shoah" is that, as a Hebrew word, we can be quite certain that the Arab League will not adopt it next week as the proper term for Jewish behavior toward Muslims.
