How do the experiences of the Shoah affect people across generations? And what does it mean to live with a family history marked by persecution, loss and survival? The documentary film “Liebe Angst” by Kim Seligsohn and Sandra Prechtel explores these questions.
The film tells the story of Kim Seligsohn’s family, which was deeply scarred by Nazi persecution: her grandmother, who was Jewish, was murdered in Auschwitz, whilst her mother only narrowly survived the concentration camp. As a member of the second generation, Kim Seligsohn explores the impact of this history on her own life.
“Liebe Angst” goes beyond a mere historical examination of persecution during the Nazi era. The film approaches these memories in a very personal way and highlights how experiences of persecution and loss can also shape subsequent generations.
A discussion with Kim Seligsohn following the screening will explore the film, her personal story and the background to the making of the documentary.
The event is a collaboration between the Evangelisches Forum Chemnitz and the Volkshochschule Chemnitz.
