A conversation with exhibition curator Christian Delage

Christian Delage discusses the exhibition he curated for the Museum of Jewish Heritage, Filming the Camps, which opens on March 22. The exhibition tells for the first time the story shared by three great Hollywood directors, John Ford, Samuel Fuller, and George Stevens, who served with the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II, and filmed the war and liberation of Nazi concentration camps.

Christian Delage is a Professor of History at the University of Paris 8 and Sciences Po Paris and a director, curator, and expert on the use of film as historical document.

Event featured as part of the Columbia Maison Française series on Cinema: History and Theory. Co-sponsored by the Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies at Columbia University and by Cardozo Law School
