Abstract:
Winner of the 2010 Student Academy Award™ Gold Medal for Documentary, Ruth Fertig's "Yizkor" (Remembrance) uses animation by Jeanne Stern, archival film, home movies and Super 8 footage to tell her grandmother's story of survival and resilience in the face of crushing loss. Like many Holocaust survivors, Liselotte Fertigova never spoke with her children about her experiences during the war. After her death, the family uncovered a memoir she had written in the last years of her life. With surprising frankness and humor, Liselotte's words convey the day-to-day realities of a pregnant woman and young mother struggling to keep her family alive inside the Theresienstadt concentration camp. In telling her grandmother's very personal story, Fertig employs an inventive visual style. [jewishfilm.org]
