criticism
“The much-invoked zero hour in Germany - Raymond Ley built a complex docu-drama around it. In its 90-minute film, the new beginning is exposed as an erroneous belief on various levels: The Germans, who are obviously inadequately de-Nazified, are blatantly hating Jews, but the idealistic Zionist and brigade leader Ben Yehuda (brilliant [sic!] As always: Harald Schrott) wants the trauma of the Holocaust into the dream of your own Jewish state. (...) Like his grandiose Nazi hunter thriller 'Eichmanns Ende', Ley also tells 'The Children of Blankenese' as a drama of perfidious continuities. Here, however, it is less about the brown contaminated sites in the form of old Nazi networks, but more about what traces the thinking of genocide logisticians and racial hygienists has left on their victims. "
“What the film shows is shocking, and that is largely due to the successful combination of the eyewitness interviews with the scenes that were played. In this case, the double narrative helps enormously to make what is difficult to grasp tangible: a new beginning that was not one for the victims in this case. "
