Jewish Studies. The Centre for Jewish Studies and the Department of Drama at Manchester University are pleased to announce that the next Screen & Talk event
will be the streaming of ‘The Brasch Family’. Annekatrin Hendel’s
documentary depicts three generations of the Braschs, a Jewish family
whose first generation returned from exile from National Socialism to
settle in East Germany. Whereas the first generation were ardent
supporters of the German Democratic Republic, their three sons Thomas,
Peter and Klaus – all of them artists – developed into critics of the
system. Through interviews with surviving relatives, loved ones and
friends, the film paints a social, political and cultural history of the
GDR through the canvas of a family saga. The film will be available on the UKJF streaming platform from 9-13 June 2022. It
is followed by an online live discussion panel on 13 June, 18.00 BST
(British Summer Time). Register for the panel discussion in advance here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. Further information.
