«Filming in the camps, from Hollywood to Nuremberg: John Ford, Samuel Fuller, George Stevens».
The exhibition produced by the Shoah Memorial, which will be presented to the public of the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, aims to show an unknown part of the work of the three great American directors.
These directors produced great films such as "The Grapes of Wrath" (Ford), made before the Second World War, and later "Man of the Lost Valleys" (Stevens) and "Beyond Glory" (Fuller), after spending time in uniform, in Europe.
They filmed for this reason the daily life of the war and the opening of concentration camps. Their images constitute an essential visual testimony on the reality of the Second World War. The film editing their shootings shows, in particular, images of the opening of the Dachau camp accompanied by written notes from the directors.
