Giacomo Lichtner

I research the interface between history, memory and representation, with a specific interest in historical film and the ways it constructs popular understandings of the past. I have researched extensively the representation of the Holocaust, Fascism and World War Two, and am the author of Film and the Shoah in France and Italy (2008, 2015) and Fascism in Italian Cinema Since 1945: the politics and Aesthetics of Memory (2013). I comment regularly on Holocaust history and memory, most recently being involved in researching the Willi Huber/Mt Hutt controversy.
