skull_bearerJust me being sad that I couldn't use the title I really wanted for my essay "The Sin of Silence and Claude Lanzmann', because I wasn't sure how to pad out a 5k word essay on how Lanzmann just doesn't let people shut up and will keep badgering them until they break down and talk, cry or both. Which makes him my favourite Holocaust historian Magnificent Bastard.
Anyway, my essay title is instead "Holocaust Now. The Use of Present Image in Clause Lanzmann's Shoah" Also known as "This is why when you watch Shoah you have this uncomfortable feeling that it's actually happening just off camera and Lanzmann is just too nice to show you." Which is the first time in recorded history Claude Lanzmann has been described as 'nice'
