The Last Laugh documentary film directed by Ferne Pearlstein about whether jokes about the Holocaust can ever be funny.[1]
Synopsis [ edit ]
Is the Holocaust funny? This documentary looks at the taboo topic of humor, delving deep into pop-culture to find out where to draw the line, and whether that is a desirable—or even possible—goal. Much of the film is centered around Auschwitz survivor Renée Firestone who discusses humor in the concentration camps and finding enjoyment in life after the war.
