In any exchange on film and the Holocaust, the difficulty surfaces over the merits or, in many scholarly views, the lack of merit of Hollywood simulations of the Final Solution. Academic circles tend to oppose the Hollywood culture. Yet such cinematic dramatizations of the Holocaust have helped to shape memory of the Holocaust in the popular consciousness. This article examines the controversy over the perceived exploitative nature of Hollywood interpretations of the Final Solution and the critiques of the film medium as a source for memory, but it also indicates a number of ways in which Holocaust-related films have become the defenders of memory
