About Simon Schama
Sir Simon Schama is University Professor of Art History and History at Columbia University, and Contributing Editor of the Financial Times. He has taught at Cambridge, Oxford and Harvard Universities. He is an award-winning author of 20 books, translated into 23 languages, including two volumes of The Story of the Jews. THE HOLOCAUST, 80 YEARS ON is his latest film as writer-presenter for PBS and the BBC, joining a body of work that includes 60 documentaries on art, history and literature.
On making this film – the most personal and unflinching of his career – Schama said:
"Never has there been so much Holocaust education while also as much ignorance about its true enormity, the most profound act of calculated evil known to history. The conflicts and agonies of our present moment, not least the appalling return of antisemitism, only make a retelling of the Holocaust story the more urgent."
