- Title
"Teach Me Gold": Pedagogy and Memory in The Pawnbroker.
- Authors
Rosen, Alan
- Abstract
The article offers a film criticism which examines the role of teaching and memory in Sidney Lumet's 1965 film adaptation of the novel "The Pawnbroker," written by Edward Lewis Wallant. The article looks at the film's critique of US and European authority regarding the depiction, and thereby memory, of the Holocaust in film. Topics include the role of Jewish pawnbroker in the film, and a comparison between the pawnbroker in the film and the character Shylock by playwright William Shakespeare.
