“The book is an original and important contribution to the field of Holocaust cinema studies that have developed so far ... . Due to its broad scope and comprehensive film analyses, the book will be useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as scholars working in the fields of film studies, Holocaust studies, Slavic studies, and Jewish studies. ... Mroz’s book is an important step on this path towards accepting ‘unwanted knowledge.’” (Elżbieta Ostrowska, The Polish Review, Vol. 69 (2), 2024)
