Die Freiheit des Erzhlens - Das Leben des Gad Beck

Directing: Robin CackettCarsten Does

Synopsis

Gad Beck is a great story teller. He was ten years old when the Nazis came to power and 19 when his great love Manfred Lewin was deported and killed in Auschwitz. Half-breeds by Nazi standards Gad Beck and his twin sister Miriam were interned at Rosenstrasse camp in the centre of Berlin in 1943 but set free again after unique street protests by non-Jewish relatives and friends. As leader of the underground group Chug Chaluzi Gad Beck helped to organize the survival of many Jews in Berlin during the last two years of World War II until he and his friends were finally caught.How is history remembered and told? How is an eye witness staged by later generations and how does he stage himself?
