Hitler Gets the Treatment
March 04, 2005
Hollywood was slow to pick up on the realities of the Holocaust. But when the political climate allowed it, the films began to flow, and they've been flowing ever since. The German film industry, on the other hand, is just now beginning to address what happened more than 60 years ago. Brooke talks history with Daniel Anker, director of "Imaginary Witness: Hollywood and the Holocaust." She also speaks with Oliver Hirschbiegel, director of Germany's Academy Award-nominated "Downfall," and Bruno Ganz, who plays Hitler in the movie.
