    Abstract: Based on the short stories of Anzia Yezierska, the first writer to bring stories of American Jewish women to a mainstream audience, Hungry Hearts focuses on the members of the Levin family who emigrate from Eastern Europe to New York City's Lower East Side. Abraham, the pious father learned in religion but uninterested in business, has difficulty making a living and adjusting to life in America. The daughter Sara scrubs floors in the tenement in order to earn money and "become a somebody." The mother Hannah, a noble matriarch, scrimps and saves to paint her dingy kitchen white only to have her landlord raise the rent because of the improvements. Filmed on location on the Lower East Side, this bittersweet classic captures the hopes and hardships of Jewish immigrants in the New World.

    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe Lev Raphael. Chair: Andrew Gross My Germany
    Keywords: Schriftsteller ; Reisebericht ; Familie ; Juden ; Deutschland ; USA
    Abstract: The son of Holocaust survivors journeys to a poisoned land in this memoir about shaking off family ghosts. Lev Raphael grew up loathing everything German. A son of Holocaust survivors, haunted by his parents' suffering and traumatic losses under Nazi rule, he was certain that Germany was one place in the world he would never visit. Those feelings shaped his Jewish and gay identity, his life, and his career. Then the barriers of a lifetime began to come down, as revealed in this moving memoir. After his mother's death, while researching her war years, Raphael found a distant relative living in the very city where she had been a slave laborer. What would he learn if he actually traveled to the place where his mother had found freedom and met his father? Not long after that epochal trip, a German publisher bought several of his books for translation. Raphael was launched on book tours in Germany, discovering not so much a new Germany, but a new self: someone unafraid to face the past and transcend it.

    The inheritage (2009)
    Waltham, Mass. : National Center for Jewish Film
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 58 Min. , NTSC , s/w
    Year of publication: 2009
    Keywords: Einwanderung ; Dokumentarfilm ; USA
    Abstract: This documentary, sponsored by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, chronicles the history of the garment workers from 1900 to 1964. Opening with the flood of immigrants that poured through Ellis Island in the early 1900s, the film goes on to unveil dim Lower East Side sweatshops, coal mines and textile mills filled with children, the battlefields of World War I, and the anxious years of the Depression. In this setting we see the immigrants struggle to become part of their new country and labor's brutal battle to organize into a united movement during the 1930s. Actual footage of the Memorial Day Massacre at Republic Steel brings the power of authenticity to these scenes. The film moves through World War II and the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, as each generation fights to preserve and expand its freedom.

    The casting - Omer Fast : [anläßlich der Ausstellung, 5. Oktober 2007 - 20. Januar 2008] (2008)
    Köln : Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König Köln
    Details
    ISBN: 9783865604033
    Language: German
    Pages: 173 Seiten , Illustrationen
    Year of publication: 2008
    Keywords: Video-Installation ; Militär ; Soldat ; Künstler ; Ausstellung ; USA
    Abstract: Omer Fast's video installation The Casting is based on interviews held with a U.S. Army sergeant before his renewed deployment in Iraq. Fast describes the project thus: "During several days he told me two stories which I have interwoven. The first took place in Bavaria and describes the sergeant's relationship with a German girl who loves speed and self-mutilation. The second story takes place outside Baghdad and deals with a bomb on the roadside and a tragic mistake." Fast took these two stories and processed them into a screenplay, which he then had interpreted by actors as a series of silent tableaux. This succinct volume documents these tableaux with numerous color photographs and includes a conversation between the artist and Sven Lütticken, as well as a text by Matthias Michalka.

    Uniform Title: Harry Haft ger
    Keywords: Haft, Harry ; Überlebender ; Boxer ; USA
    Abstract: Dies ist die dramatische Überlebensgeschichte des Hertzka Haft: Der Sohn einer jüdischen Familie wuchs in Polen auf, erlebte als 14-Jähriger den Einmarsch der Deutschen, unter deren Besatzerregime er ums nackte Dasein und um seine jugendlichen Träume kämpfte. Schließlich ins KZ Auschwitz eingeliefert, bildete ihn ein SS-Mann zum Boxer aus, der auf Leben und Tod Schaukämpfe vor den Wachmannschaften absolvieren musste. Haft überlebte unter unvorstellbaren Umständen, schmuggelte in München Zigaretten für US-amerikanische Offiziere, wurde später Profiboxer in den USA, wo er u.a. gegen den legendären Rocky Marciano kämpfte. Erst kürzlich, in hohem Alter, offenbarte sich Haft seinem Sohn. In manchmal verstörender Offenheit schilderte er seine fürchterlichen KZ-Erlebnisse - Brutalität, Erniedrigung, Verrohung -, die ihn für sein restliches Leben traumatisierten.

    Uniform Title: From the Golden Gate to the Black Forest ger
    Keywords: Autobiografie ; Judenverfolgung ; Exil ; USA
    Abstract: Nach seiner geglückten Flucht aus Nazi-Deutschland im Herbst 1940 erlebt der 16-jährige Louis Maier mit seiner Schwester Agathe aus Malsch bei Karlsruhe den Beginn eines neuen, geschenkten Lebens in den USA. Eindrucksvoll beschreibt er den Alltag in ihm fremden Lebenswelten. Gleichzeitig kontrastiert er seinen eigenen hoffnungsvollen Neubeginn mit den Briefen seiner Eltern aus dem KZ Gurs, in das die badischen Juden im Oktober 1940 deportiert worden waren. In der Korrespondenz spiegeln sich die Mühen um die Organisation der Ausreise der Eltern. Briefe als Lebensfäden, die schließlich mit der Deportation der Eltern im August 1942 tragisch enden. Louis Maiers Schreiben an seine Eltern kommen nun mit der Aufschrift "Empfänger unbekannt verzogen" zurück. Als amerikanischer Soldat kehrt Louis Maier 1945 nach Europa zurück und erlebt die Schrecken der letzten Kriegsphase. Nach Kriegsende verfolgt er die Spuren des Schicksals seiner Eltern. Seine Suche führt ihn 1946 für kurze Zeit in seine badische Heimat Malsch. Diese Erinnerungen eines jüdischen Jugendlichen sind ein in dieser Intensität erschütterndes, einzigartiges Dokument.
