John J. Michalczyk is Professor and Director of Film Studies at Boston College, USA. He is the author of Conflict Resolution Films (2009) and Confront: Resistance in Nazi Germany (2003).

The text proper is solemn and intense. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. -- P. H. Stacy, emeritus, University of Hartford CHOICE [This] volume surveys a broad range of too-little-known Holocaust documentaries ... [and] makes an individual contribution to this still understudied area of research. CINEASTE Michaelczyk's perspective helps us better understand how attitudes towards German perpetrators eventually attained their present forms. English Historical Review
