Hitlerjunge Salomon

This film is part of Artur Brauner‘s "Films Against Oblivion", which are screened from the 8th of February until the 15th of March 2019 in the Goethe Hall.

The film is based on the authentic memories of Salomon Perel, born in 1925, who today lives in Israel under the name Sally Perel. We follow the odyssey of a young Jewish refugee from Poland. Caused by the confusions of war, he is first sent to a Russian orphan's home and then to a school for the Nazi elite. In an epilogue the true Salomon Perel is shown, who has emigrated to Palestine.

Director: Agnieszka Holland, colour, 105 min., 1989
