Sara (1999)

خلاصه داستان

Images from Berlin. The streets of the city and its inhabitants, cars and passers-by. You see the renovated synagogue on Oranienburger Straße and suddenly small details in someone's apartment. A woman's voice begins to narrate off-screen. The voice belongs to Sara, who recounts her childhood in Czestochowa, Poland. Experiences from her life: how she ended up in a ghetto as a child, later in a concentration camp, which was liberated towards the end of the war. She then lived first in Israel, later in the GDR. Karsten Troyke gives concerts in the Hackesche Höfe. He sings Yiddish songs, most of which he learned from Sara. She had not forgotten them. Two men talk about the chosen people and discuss Jewish identity with Sara: her two sons.
