The Israeli director Yael Reuveny sets out to find her grandmother's brother, who did not meet him again after the Shoah . It turns out that Feiv'ke Schwarz took the name Peter Schwarz after 1945 and married a German. He lived with her until his death near the Schlieben subcamp . Yael Reuveny tells her story through three generations. First that of the grandmother and her apparently missing brother. Then that of her mother and her cousin - Peter Schwarz's children. Finally she tells her own story and that of a grandson of Peter Schwarz.
The film deals with the terms family, home, memory and guilt, but also reconciliation and the future.
background
The film was produced by the German company Made in Germany in coproduction with the Israeli Black Sheep Filmproductions, the Israeli broadcaster Channel 8 and the Westdeutscher Rundfunk . The film project was financed by the Film- und Medienstiftung NRW , the BKM , the Kuratorium Junge deutscher Film , the film workshop of the Schleswig-Holstein Film Funding and the Rabinovich Film Fund .
reception
"Yael Reuveny shows vividly, for example in conversations with her parents, how the past still has an impact today."
"With her impressive documentation, Yael Reuveny shows how deeply the experience of the Shoah has carved itself into the consciousness of German-Jewish history."
“In the deeply moving documentary“ Yesterday's Snow ”a young Israeli woman traces her painful family history. [...] how the failed meeting has shaped two families over three generations is something the Israeli director shows most emphatically with “Yesterday's Snow”. The debut was rightly recognized as best documentary at both the Haifa Film Festival and the Dok Leipzig Festival. "
"A deliberate documentary that takes the necessary time to dismantle the non-history and track its effects."
"Your film is a masterpiece."
