Claude Lanzmann (; born 27 November 1925) is a French filmmaker known for the Holocaust documentary film ''Shoah'' (1985). ==Life and work== Lanzmann was born in Paris to a Jewish family that immigrated to France from Eastern Europe. He is the brother of writer Jacques Lanzmann. He attended the in Clermont-Ferrand. His family went into hiding during World War II.〔(On Campus: "Claude Lanzmann" ), Columbia University News〕 He joined the French resistance at the age of 18 and fought in the Auvergne.〔Lawrence D. Kritzman, Brian J. Reilly, Malcolm DeBevoise. ''The Columbia History of Twentieth-Century French Thought'' (Entry "Claude Lanzmann" )〕 Lanzmann opposed the French war in Algeria and signed the 1960 antiwar petition Manifesto of the 121.〔(Israel's enemies take no prisoners. ), ''Tageszeitung'', 6 July 2009〕 From 1952 to 1959 he lived with Simone de Beauvoir. In 1963 he married French actress Judith Magre. They divorced in 1971, and he next married Angelika Schrobsdorff, a German-Jewish writer. He divorced a second time and married Dominique Petithory in 1995. He is the father of Angélique Lanzmann, born in 1950 and Félix Lanzmann, born in 1993. Lanzmann's most renowned work, ''Shoah'', is a nine-and-a-half hour oral history of the Holocaust, broadly considered to be the foremost film on the subject. ''Shoah'' is made without the use of any historical footage, and uses only first-person testimony from Jewish, Polish, and German individuals, and contemporary footage of several Holocaust-related sites. Lanzmann persuaded Polish resistance fighter Jan Karski to be a witness in ''Shoah'' by calling forth—once again—his historical responsibility. When the film was released, the director also published the complete text, including in English translation, with introductions by Lanzmann and Simone de Beauvoir. It provides multiple keys to the philosophical and linguistic preoccupations of the producers. Through ''Shoah'' many viewers were first introduced to the work of Raul Hilberg, an American Holocaust historian. Lanzmann has disagreed, sometimes angrily, with attempts to understand the why of Hitler, stating that the evil of Hitler cannot or should not be explained and that to do so is immoral and an obscenity.〔 〕 He is chief editor of the journal ''Les Temps Modernes'', which was founded by Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. In 2009, Lanzmann published his memoirs under the title ''Le lièvre de Patagonie'' (The Patagonian Hare). He is currently a lecturer at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland.〔(Claude Lanzmann ) Faculty profile at European Graduate School〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Claude Lanzmann」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
