The first film in the 2014 Sandra and Mendel Rosenberg Sunday Afternoon Film Series will be the gripping, award-winning documentary The Flat. Filmmaker Arnon Goldfinger, while cleaning out the Tel Aviv apartment of his recently deceased grandmother, finds evidence that his grandparents were good friends with prominent Nazis and remained friend even after the war. Disturbed and intrigued, he sets out on an unsettling journey into his family’s history. This 2011 film will screen at 1 pm on January 26 in the Holocaust Museum’s theater in the Jewish Federation Kopolow Building, 12 Millstone Campus Drive.
Introductory remarks and a post-screening discussion will be facilitated by Robert A. Cohn, editor-in-chief emeritus, St. Louis Jewish Light. Films in this Sunday series are free and open to the public. The film has a running time of 97 minutes and will be screened in English with some subtitled Hebrew and German.
