| SHOAH'S ABSENCE, by Fred Camper (3494 words) |
| Shoah's great achievement is to leave us with no such single abstractable image, which we might carry with us like an object as we leave the theater, our distilled essence of the filmmaker's expression to be filed away in the mind for future reference. |
| Shoah's refusal to participate in cinema's mainstream aesthetic tradition of an art based on the qualities of image-making is a result of the way in which it organizes its materials, expressively, to point not toward the concrete but rather toward the construction of an emptiness, the null set. |
| Shoah's great act of respect for the dead, which one might also choose to call a kind of resurrection, consists of the filmmaker stepping back from that which he cannot show and cannot know. |
