Jalda und Anna: Erste Generation danach

75 min. | Dokumentory | Directors: Katinka Zeuner, Benjamin Laser | 2012 | German with English, Spanish subtitles | PAL

Jalda Rebling and Anna Adam share many things. Not only that they both live together in the Prenzlauer Berg district of Berlin and that they both decided to express their lives in art. What unites the two much more is the fact that they are daughters whose mothers each survived the Holocaust in Auschwitz. And this aspect of the past can be found in many facets of their lives today. The film accompanies the cheerful ladies as it shows how they use their work as artists to reflect on and comment on the events of the past. Anna’s art projects such as the “happy hippie jew bus” are just as much a part of this as Jalda’s work as a musician in a medieval Jewish music style band and her work as a member of the Concervatice Yeshiva University in Jerusalem.
