In the organizer's words:

Born in Ravensbrück

Germany 2021, Jule von Hertell, 45 min., German, Ukrainian OV, German subtitles
With Ingelore Prochnow, Heike Rode, Klaus Prochnow, Mrs. Sonntag

The documentary tells the story of a child who was one of the few children born in a concentration camp who survived. On December 1, 1943, Ingelore Prochnow's mother, five months pregnant and just 19 years old, was sent to the Ravensbrück women's concentration camp. The reason for her imprisonment was "intercourse with a Pole". In April of the following year, she gave birth to her daughter Ingelore. Miraculously, she survived for a year until her liberation in April 1945. She grew up with adoptive parents, only found out about the circumstances of her birth 40 years later and set out in search of her story and possible relatives. A film that traces this search and the story. It is about missing memories, unanswered questions and remembering without one's own memory.

To mark the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of National Socialism, the Landeszentrale is organizing two film screenings at the Metropolis Kino on two important and rarely examined topics. Here we can welcome Dr. des. Jule von Hertell, director and employee of the "Euthanasia" memorial in Lüneburg, as a speaker and discussion partner. She completed her doctorate on memory in essayistic documentary film, cultures of remembrance in Spain and transcultural remembrance at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts. Jule von Hertell will give a historical introduction to the films and afterwards there will be an opportunity to talk to each other.

Both events are being held in cooperation with the Metropolis Kino Hamburg.
