Nazi archival footage realized in the Warsaw Ghetto has become a staple element of postwar documentary films. The early films relied heavily on editing and voice over commentary in order to lay bare the propagandist angle of the generic material. However, with the passage of time filmmakers started to perceive the fruits of German documentary work as problematic. The article analyzes three films: Jerzy Bossak's 'Requiem for 500 000' (1962), Jolanta Dylewska's 'The Chronicle of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising According to Marek Edelman' (1993) and '912 Days of the Warsaw Ghetto' (2001) trying to pinpoint the ways of undoing the 'evil eye' of the Nazi footage by palimpsest re-editing, individual testimony and recent digital manipulation of found footage. Furthermore, it postulates a quest for an ethics of seeing pertaining to the specificity of the material.

Abraham Ravett's documentary films undermine the validity of conventional documentary storytelling, supplanting it with formal experimentation. The realisation of the shortcomings of the position of the second generation witness to the Holocaust leads to devoting attention to the unsuccessful process of retrieving parental past. The essay examines the interrelation between formal experimentation, experience (in its direct and mediated forms), and aesthetic consequences of applying innovative audiovisual form to the representation of belated memories/experience of the Holocaust. Ravett's filmmaking is also akin to the work of mourning as it is preoccupied with recognition of losses.
