- Journey to Poland addresses 80 hitherto neglected films, including Polish television documentaries and independent documentaries made by Holocaust survivors and by members of the post-generation. The book is also based on research on 100 hours of archival footage, such as the outtakes from Shoah, held at the USHMM. I have used this material to build an argument for documentary as key to explore the profoundly spatial nature of the Holocaust and to build a framework of analysis beyond Film and based on concepts such as postmemory, sites of memory and multidirectional memory. Chapters have been published in Russian and Spanish.
