Led by Henri-Phillipe Pétain, this government collaborated with the Nazis and carried out German policies. When the war ended, however, the new government led by Charles de Gaulle was ashamed by these memories, and quickly tried to re-establish France's collective identity. To do this, de Gaulle repressed the reality of French collaboration and the troubling role it played in the Holocaust. The result of this suppression was that France faced a crisis in consciousness where society was unable to express its trauma and guilt over the Holocaust. The two documentary films Nuit et brouillard (1955) and Shoah (1986) provided a medium by which to remember the past, allowing the French to reclaim their memory of the Holocaust through the use of searing imagery and testimony. 530 Electronic version(s) |bavailable internally at USHMM. 533 Photocopy. |bAnn Arbor, Mich. : |cUMI Dissertation Services. |e22 cm. 590 Dissertations and Theses 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 20 January 2012. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945), in motion pictures. 650 0 Memory |xSocial aspects |zFrance. 650 0 Motion pictures |zFrance |xHistory |y20th century. 630 00 Nuit et brouillard (Motion picture) 630 00 Shoah (Motion picture) 856 41 |uhttp://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?did=1619384371&sid=69&Fmt=6&clientId=54617&RQT=309&VName=PQD |zElectronic version from ProQuest 956 41 |u http://dc.ushmm.org/library/bib146799/1459690.pdf |z Hosted by USHMM. 852 0 |bstacks |hPN1995.9.H53 |iB73 2008 852 |bwww 852 0 |bebook
