Cultural film screenings in Germany focus on Jewish history
Cultural events in Germany include a screening of ‘Bruno – Der junge Kreisky’ organized by the Jewish Community of Munich and Upper Bavaria. The film depicts the youth of Bruno Kreisky in late 1920s Vienna, following his involvement with socialist youth movements and his resistance against the rise of National Socialism before his eventual exile and political career.
In Falkensee, a screening of the documentary ‘Jetzt – nach so viel Jahren’ by Pavel Schnabel and Harald Lüders was held at Cinema ALA. The film examines the history of the Jewish community in Rhina, Hesse, which was once known as ‘Little Jerusalem’ before the Nazi era led to the deportation of its residents. The documentary explores the differing perspectives between local residents and survivors living in the United States regarding the town's dark history.
