When Zubin Mehta takes the stage at the Disney Concert Hall on Oct. 30 to conduct the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO), most in the audience will know that they’re hearing a world-class orchestra. Very few will realize, however, that the IPO’s founding was integral to the origins of the modern Jewish state. That beginning not only inaugurated the arts in Israel, but it was coupled with the saving of untold numbers of Jews from the Holocaust. Now that story is being told on the big screen in director Josh Aronson’s “Orchestra of Exiles,” in first-run screenings at selected Laemmle theaters beginning Nov. 2.

Early in the Nazi regime, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a rising young Protestant minister and theologian, was asked by his twin sister to speak at the funeral of her Jewish husband.\n\nBonhoeffer consulted his church superiors and refused. Later, tormented by his decision, he asked himself, \”How could I have been so afraid? I should have behaved differently.\”\n\nIt was perhaps the only time that Bonhoeffer\’s natural human fear trumped his moral courage in fighting the Nazi ideology, a stand for which he finally paid with his life.\n\nThe acts and religious beliefs of perhaps the most principled German Protestant voice during the Hitler era are woven together in the 90-minute documentary, \”Bonhoeffer,\” opening Oct. 10 at two Laemmle theaters.
