A documentary film on the effects of the past in the present, of emigration and expulsion in the lives of Jewish Women of the first, second and third generation after the Holocaust. A film on their courage, power, knowledge and contribution to the arts and sciences, to the cultural field. Things.Places.Years. comprises interviews with Jewish women of three generations after the Holocaust. The film’s first generation protagonists escaped from Nazi Austria as children or young women. The second and third generation protagonists are daughters and granddaughters of survivors, emigrés and escapees born and brought up in the U.K. Core objective of the film is to show and investigate how experiences of emigration, diaspora and genocide are passed on from generation to generation. What does the history of the (grand)mothers mean for the daughters and granddaughters? How does it affect their lives, their work, their idientities? Which role does the past take in the present? The film shows the after effects of emigration, expulsion and genocide in the lives of Jewish women. And it documents their courage, power, knowledge and contribution to the arts and sciences, the cultural field in general.
