Kurt Brodmann tells the story of his family: how his father Leopold, an actor, fell in love with Franzi Goldstaub, who was sitting in the audience. Franzi came from an orthodox family and her parents would not let her marry an actor.
Because he was so much in love, Leopold gave up his acting career and went into business.
Leopold and Franzi raised two sons. During the war, one son, Harry, fled to England; Kurt emigrated to Palestine, while their parents found refuge in Shanghai. There, Franzi opened a cafe and Leopold became an actor once again. After the war, the family was reunited in Vienna.

| Analyzing a Centropa Film other projects Teachers use this activity for any project where students are asked to create a story on film or another visual presentation (Prezi, PowerPoint), including the Virtual Walking Tour project (students research the Jewish community in their town and create an online tour using Google Maps that others can take). The goal of this activity is to help students see how a story told in film is told through narrative, visuals and audio. Students watch a short Centropa personal story film three times, each time focusing on one aspect of the film-making. Teachers have told us this useful activity helps their students think about how they want to tell their own stories through film. |

| Együtt élve a történelemmel Feladatbank, Óraterv German language, History, Sociology Az óraterv bemutatja a közép-európai zsidóság 20. századi sorsát, a Shoát. Az órák legfontosabb célja a létező előítéletek okainak feltárása, megbeszélése és oldása, akár egy tanórai vita keretében is. Ennek során több nézőpontból is megismerhetjük a zsidóság sorsát. Fontos célja még az órának, hogy az egyes emberek élettörténetein keresztül vitassa meg, érje el, hogy milyen módon lehetne önmagunkban leépíteni az előítéleteket, sztereotípiákat. Szintén fontos célkitűzése, hogy a diákok maguk fogalmazzák meg, hogy a sztereotípiák milyen veszélyt jelentenek, hogyan vezethetnek el akár egy nép kiirtásához is.(A filmek német nyelven láthatóak, illetve angol felirattal láthatóak, így a teljes anyag feldolgozásához minimum B1-es német / angol nyelvtudás szükséges. Az első óra anyaga azonban magyarul is feldolgozható.) |

This issue affected many Jews in the 20th Century and is currently unfolding in Europe today as people from areas of conflict in the Middle East are fleeing and migrating into Europe. You will focus on the three areas of video production: preproduction, production and postproduction, and will form a narrative that has a beginning, middle and end. Ultimately, you will edit together a short film (2-3 minutes) that expresses your ideas and tells a story about what home means to you. |
