REMEMBRANCE presented by the Furman Film Series

REMEMBRANCE

Directed by Anna Justice. Germany, 2011, 105 min.
In German, Polish and English with English Subtitles.

A hit of this year's Jewish Film Festival presented by the Jewish Museum and Lincoln Center, Remembrance is inspired by actual events, and depicts a remarkable love story that blossomed in the terror and squalor of a Nazi concentration camp in 1944 Poland. In a daring escape, Tomasz, a young Polish prisoner, rescues his Jewish lover, Hannah. In the chaos of the end of the war, they are forcibly separated and each is convinced that the other has died. More than 30 years later in New York City, Hannah believes she has seen her Tomasz interviewed on television and she begins to search for him again. Anna Justice (Max Minsky and Me, NYJFF 2009) directs this powerful and artfully crafted drama.
