T

here are hundreds 
of films about the 
Holocaust in doz-
ens of languages and from 
scores of countries. Rich 
Brownstein has lectured at 
Yad Vashem’s International 
School for Holocaust Studies 
in Jerusalem since 2014, spe-
cializing in the history and 
pedagogy of Holocaust films. 
 The Zekelman Holocaust 
Center (The HC) will be 
hosting a 75 Years of Holocaust 
Cinema lecture by the author 
on Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. 
 The program will be 
presented virtually on Zoom. 
Suggested donation for the 
program is $10. To register, 
visit HolocaustCenter.org/
February. 
The genre of the Holocaust 
has been explored in film so 
often that, since 1946, one 
Holocaust film has been nom-
inated for an Academy Award 
every other year, including 
20 for Best Foreign Language 
Film. More than 440 narrative 
Holocaust feature films and 
made-for-TV movies have 
been produced in this time, 
with more than 25% of all 
American-made Holocaust 
films having been nominated 
for an Academy Award. 
Brownstein’s new 
book, Holocaust Cinema 
Complete: A History and Analysis 
of 400 Films, with a Teaching 
Guide, was recently published 
by McFarland Press. In it, he 
explores the genre beyond 
documentaries — the success-
es and failures that the film 
industry has experienced on 
this topic by discussing specif-
ic examples: drama, comedy, 
science fiction, animation and 
more, but not inclusive of doc-
umentaries or miniseries over 

three hours in length. 
“Rich Brownstein has 
expertly viewed and cri-
tiqued an astonishing amount 
of cinema on the topic of 
the Holocaust,
” said Rabbi 
Eli Mayerfeld, CEO, The 
Zekelman Holocaust Center. 
“In a unique combination 
of detached professionalism 
and his personal feelings, he 
manages to present each film’s 
unique perspective — and 
provide thought-provoking 
insights regarding the topics of 
both life and cinema. We are 
honored to have him provide 
his insights on Feb. 23.
” 
Brownstein’s lecture 
will explore many aspects of 
Holocaust cinema. He will 
discuss the specific criteria he 
used in classifying Holocaust 
films, such as Schindler’s 
List and JoJo Rabbit — as well as 
classics like The Sound of Music, 
which he does not consider a 
Holocaust film. 

 Program sponsors are 
The PNC Foundation, Robin 
& Leo Eisenberg, Linda & 
Robert Finkel, Patricia & 
Robert Frank, Garry Kappy 
and Stewart Shear. The HC’s 
Community partner is The 
Maple Theater. For more
