Filmpremiere: „Die Kraft des Erinnerns"

In the organizer's words:

The documentary is dedicated to the generations born after the Second World War and the long shadows of the past. It illustrates how the experiences and actions of parents and grandparents shape the lives of their children and grandchildren - even though they did not experience the war themselves. The film follows six emotional journeys on the trail of family history. It sheds light on entanglement and traumatization during and after the Second World War as well as the resulting family narratives, the passing on of traumas to subsequent generations and their effects. Two of the stories tell of flight and expulsion. The power of remembering invites us to understand the meaning of remembering more deeply and shows ways of dealing with stressful family histories.
