In the Birch Grove and The Forgotten Jew in the City of Youth

Screening of two 30-min. research films by Alan R. Marcus that adopt a contemporary perspective to exploring Auschwitz-Birkenau (In the Birch Grove, 2012) and Landsberg-am-Lech (The Forgotten Jew in the City of Youth, 2016). The films pose questions about the discomforting mismatch of beauty and trauma, the banal and the sacred, and contrasting testimonies involving an unlikely perpetrator and an unlikely survivor of the Holocaust.
