"Memorandum": The Holocaust Through Canadian Eyes | HOLOCAUST SERIES

This is a look back at the significance of an early Holocaust documentary, the National Film Board of Canada's Memorandum, in which two noted documentarians follow a Polish-Canadian Holocaust survivor, Bernard Laufer, back to Bergen-Belsen, some twenty years after his liberation from that camp. I examine the various contexts that informed the making of Donald Brittain and John Spotton’s 1965 black and white documentary. #memorandum #donaldbrittain #nfb #johnspotton #holocaustdocumentary
