Beschrijving
Discusses the representation of Jewish displaced persons after World War II in Meyer Levin's film 'The Illegals'. It discusses reasons for the film's waning relevance, particularly affter the 1960 success of the film 'Exodus'. It is suggested that the study of the Holocaust as both a migration and displacement narrative, in the context of the current European refugee crises, is valid and overdue.
