The Portraitist

(Google Books provides hyperlinked "Preview".)] ]

In reviewing the Contact 2008 screening, Fran Schechter observes that "Director Ireneusz Dobrowolski mixes the recollections of the now elderly survivor [Wilhelm Brasse] with a gallery of mug shots and SS portraits and wartime film footage of ghettos and concentration camps." Schechter notes: "Any Holocaust testimony has an impact," but adds: "this film could have delved deeper into the question of why the Nazis made photographs and other documentation of people they considered expendable," and is left wondering: "Were they proud of their savage efficiency, or using photography to normalize their actions?"cite news|url=http://www.nowtoronto.com/movies/story.cfm?content=162955&archive=27,36,2008|title=Film Festival Reviews: The Portraitist|work=Now Toronto|format=Web|publisher=Now Communications Inc|date=2008-05-07|accessdate=2008-09-01] Such questions lead to another controversial subject: "the roots of Nazi psychology," the title of a 2000 book by Jay Y.
