Description
During World War II, many Jewish actors exiled in Hollywood portrayed the very people who had driven them into exile. This lecture discusses how anti-Nazi films offered German-speaking exiled actors the chance to get work and analyses their reactions to playing Nazis. The lecture will draw on a number of actors who wrote about their acting. Film examples include Man Hunt (1941), Lifeboat (1944) and Enemy of Women (1944).
