Many film and general histories of the period have concluded that Hollywood could or should have done more to call attention to the growing threat. Yet the very same market forces of the 1920s that brought about rapid expansion of the film industry overseas later embroiled Hollywood in a complex anti-Semitic disinformation campaign at home and abroad that targeted the industry and even threatened its very existence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFaced with attacks and accusations of warmongering at home, Hollywood's responses occurred within the ever-evolving and precarious context of the time. This important volume situates and explains Hollywood's encounter with Nazi anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, not just through isolated films or a few individuals, but in terms of how the path to genocide touched almost every aspect of film business operations along the way. A wealth of new archival research and scholarship across multiple perspectives are examined to bring a fresh and nuanced understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to academics and students in Film Studies, Jewish Studies, Holocaust Studies, Mass Media, American History, and American Studies. It also has much appeal for the general reader interested in Hollywood history, World War II, the Holocaust, the history of American Jewry, and the Roosevelt presidency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Carr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804130745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804130742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Exeter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Steven Carr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48852983939327,"sku":"9781804130742","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-holocaust-and-hollywood-studios-steven-carr-9781804130742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
