Shoah is a book that narrates the experiences of witnesses, victims, and perpetrators who witnessed the Holocaust. Lanzmann said that, on the screen, the subtitles of the documentary were inessential, but that if they were gathered in a book, they became essential. The work approaches from the figure of the witness, who explains, reveals and uncovers a truth of intimate and particular order, a truth that took place in a specific time and space.
Claude Lanzmann was a French filmmaker, best known for the Holocaust documentary film Shoah (1985), which consists of nine and a half hours of oral testimony from Holocaust survivors, without historical footage. He is also known for his 2017 documentary film Napalm, about a love affair he had with a North Korean nurse whilst visiting North Korea in 1958, several years after the Korean War.
