Through these analyses, Vice explores the background to the film, the difficulties in its financing and production, and the long process of editing that led to Lanzmann's realisation that \"the subject of my film is death itself; death and not survival.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn her afterword to this new edition, Sue Vice considers developments such as the online availability of the complete \u003ci\u003eShoah\u003c\/i\u003e Collection, Lanzmann’s archive at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and \u003ci\u003eShoah\u003c\/i\u003e's continuing influence on films that witness genocides and the Holocaust, including Joshua Oppenheimer's \u003ci\u003eThe Look of Silence\u003c\/i\u003e (2014), and Jonathan Glazer's \u003ci\u003eThe Zone of Interest\u003c\/i\u003e (2023).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362985132268,"sku":"9781839029882","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/21283643482842.jpg?v=1772909480"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/professor-sue-vice.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
