Claude Lanzmann's epic 1985 film 'Shoah' tells the story of the Holocaust through interviews with survivors of the extermination camps, bystanders who watched or participated in mass murder, and some of the perpetrators of genocide. Sue Vice addresses Lanzmann's central role in the film and and the issue of representing the unrepresentable.
