abstract: "In my dissertation, I investigate different forms of representation of Nazi crimes in Austrian films and films co-produced with Austria. My selection of films focuses on the use of different forms of representation such as re-enactments, interviews and the use of archival material. The central questions of my investigation are: With which cinematic means are memories, narratives, and images represented? How do films influence the culture of memory? How can something as intangible as memory be visualized? The dissertation also investigates the question of whether the messenger report is a suitable alternative to the dominant cinematic forms of representation of Nazi crimes. Contrary to the frequently used cinematic method of staging scenes by actors as re-enactments that pretend to be authentic, the messenger in the messenger report does not claim to be a witness of what s/he reports, i.e. to have been “there”. S/He is and remains a distanced mediator and is aware of it. "
