Hitchcock wobec Holocaustu ("Memory of the Camps")

This sketch is a kind of commentary (gloss) to a little-known episode in Alfred Hitchcock’s work, which was the director’s collaboration on Memory of the Camps (the film producer Sidney Bernstein invited Hitchcock in the spring of 1945 to assist the filmmakers in giving the final shape to the documentary film made by American, British and Soviet frontline operators just after the liberation of several concentration camps). The author of the article poses questions about the contribution of the ‘master of suspense’ to this shocking, unfinished documentary, expressing the opinion that as a creator he was only interested in violence created in the space of fiction, in a world functioning according to the rules he invented.
