In the organizer's words:

Film screening followed by a discussion with translation into German sign language

For many years there was the Café Zelig in Munich: a protected place for the last survivors of the Shoah to meet regularly and exchange ideas. They met once a week in the café, laughed, celebrated and argued politically, but also kept silent and mourned. Psychoanalyst and doctor Joram Ronel founded the café in 2016 out of a need to create a safe space for survivors and their families, a place where visitors could find support and contact without having to explain themselves. Until its closure in 2025, Café Zelig was an important point of contact for many survivors and their descendants in Munich.
Director Tanja Cummings ("Linie 41", 2015, "Café Zelig", 2020) has produced a touching documentary about this special place. As part of the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of National Socialism, this film will be shown again in a compilation. In the subsequent discussion, Tanja Cummings and Joram Ronel will talk about their memories of Café Zelig, while other models and future ideas for such places of encounter will also be explored.
