One of the defining tragedies of the modern age, the mass murder of six million Jews was at first greeted with silence by the film industry, before being portrayed in an increasingly explicit fashion. With a wealth of film clips and a panel of industry insiders at its disposal, IMAGINARY WITNESS tackles the complex ethical questions and moral dilemmas that go along with representing an event of unspeakable horror.

Reviews for Imaginary Witness: Hollywood and the Holocaust
Imaginary Witness is powerful and complex, and few will manage to make it through to the end without gasping, weeping or covering their eyes.
Daniel Anker's film faults Hollywood both for ignoring the Holocaust during the war years and for trivializing it later. It's a mixed message that coheres largely thanks to Anker's archival spadework and his luck in securing interviews.
