Germany 1981 / 60 me.
direction: Pavel Schnabel, Harald Lüders
To 1933 was the idyllic Rhina in Oberhessen a place, were in the more Jewish than half of the villagers. For a long time it was “Little Jerusalem” called. came when the Nazis to power, this ancient Jewish community was destroyed, and most Jews were deported to concentration camps.
In Rhina remained of them no more than a desolate graveyard. 1981 turned a film crew of the hessian broadcast an impressive documentary on the once Jewish village in Hesse. When asked about the former neighbors Rhinaer of peaceful coexistence told at that time.
but the filmmakers Pavel Schnabel and Harald Lüders also looked for surviving Jewish Rhinaern, in order to hear about their memories. Some they met in New York. Also, they are initially hesitant, do not like to talk about the past. But it soon becomes clear, that they mention other reasons. The survivors describe very different events.
Highlight of the film is an emotional confrontation: see the Rhinaer their former neighbors on the canvas again and be confronted with the displaced and as long secretive history. Decades after its creation has this multi-award winning film lost none of its urgency – on the contrary.
Especially in light of recent attempts, to relativize the Nazi crimes, and increasingly articulating antisemitism has this insight into the collective memory of a German village oppressive topicality.
