Screening of the film Wolf (2013)
The film reconstructs the life and legacy of Rabbi Benjamin Murmelstein, director of the Terezin ghetto, through conversations between Wolf, the rabbi’s son and his psychoanalyst. Terezin was a “city built for Jews” under the auspices of the Third Reich for propaganda purposes. In his role as ghetto director, Murmelstein was seen as a collaborator and was tried after the war. The Q and A with the filmmaker Claudio Giovannesi will be moderated by Ted Rosengarten.
