Incorrect claims about history should be met with facts, not images made only to shock and provoke.Īlso, ZDF is an independent non-profit TV-station founded by the German federal states (not the central government) so why use Merkel if not to score a political point? It would be like blaming the Swedish government for some bad TV-series shown on the SVT-station, it is makes little sense.This comprehensively revised, updated and significantly extended edition introduces German film history from its beginnings to the present day, covering key periods and movements including early and silent cinema, Weimar cinema, Nazi cinema, the New German Cinema, the Berlin School, the cinema of migration, and moving images in the digital era. I have no problem with being critical of bad historical material shown around the world, there is definitely no shortage of it, I do however have problems with the political use of such images as it weakens the power of them and is offensive to the suffers. I say this as a member of nation that was to exterminated by Germans, and I know that many others feel the same. In my opinion that image is offensive to all those who died in the camps, regardless of nationality, they deserve better than to be used to score some petty political points.Īttempts to resist white washing the history of the greatest organized genocide known in the history of man are not petty political points in my opinion. Lokanski wrote:It is a fitting metaphor on how the series tries to distort the history.
