Placing cinematic representations of the """"Jew"""" within their historical context, Bartov demonstrates the powerful political, social, and cultural impact of these images on popular attitudes. He argues that these representations generally fall into four categories: the """"Jew"""" as perpetrator, as victim, as hero, and as anti-hero. Examples range from film's early days to the present, from Europe, Israel, and the United States. | The Jew In American Cinema by Patricia Erens, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
