Omer Bartov. The "Jew" in Cinema: From The Golem to Don't Touch My Holocaust. (The Helen Schwartz Lectures in Jewish Studies.) Bloomington: Indiana University Press. 2005. Pp. xv, 374. Cloth $60.00, paper $24.95.

Much of the debate over film as history in recent years has been vitiated either by simplistic "message and container" conception of cinema, or by the remnants of a deep cultural suspicion of "Hollywood." Against these reductive trends, such historians as Natalie Zemon Davis and Robert Rosenstone have argued that not only does cinema matter vitally as an integral part of the history of the last century, but it can also refresh historiographic inquiry by posing new and challenging questions. Nowhere are these issues more urgent than in the tangled skein of Jewishness and cinema, which is the subject of Omer Bartov's stimulating new book, based on a series of lectures given at Indiana University in 1999.
