Description
The author examines the ambivalent yet emotive power of film and text in postwar Germany and Poland, which represented central Europe as a graveyard, but also as something living, containing everything from Polish scavengers searching for bits of gold in Birkenau in 1945 to overly emotive German manifestations of regret in more recent years.
