Film Screening “Don’t Call It Heimweh”

This event is part of the programme accompanying the Inge Deutschkron Prize.

For nearly 10 years, the Schwarzkopf Foundation Young Europe awarded the Margot Friedländer Prize to young people who developed projects to commemorate the Holocaust and to stand up against present-day forms of antisemitism and racism.

Now, we would like to come together to remember Berlin’s honorary citizen with the screening of the very film that marked the beginning of her return to her hometown.

It was in 2003 when Margot Friedländer traveled from New York to Berlin for the first time in 60 years, accompanied by German director Thomas Halaczinsky, who lives in New York.

The powerful documentary „Don’t Call It Heimweh“ was created and premiered in 2004 at Potsdamer Platz. A year later, it opened the Jewish Film Festival Berlin Brandenburg.

We warmly invite you to a renewed screening of „Don’t Call It Heimweh“ on October 7 at Kino Central, Rosenthaler Str. 39, at 6:00 p.m.
After the screening, we would be pleased to welcome you to a small reception.

We would appreciate it if you could RSVP online or via email.
