Izgnanie (The Banishment)
I wanted to write about my teeth but I think this is probably slightly more interesting to read.
Anyone who’s followed this blog should know I am an enormous fan of the Russian film Vozvrashcheniye, also known as “The Return”. So when I heard that the director made his second film - Izgnanie (The Banishment) - [...]
Between Dignity and Despair - First Impressions
I didn’t like this book very much. I thought it was a rather unique book at first, as Marion Kaplan compiled a bunch of anecdotes from Holocaust survivors together and fitted them into this book, giving us a truly realistic and personal view of the Jewish life in Nazi Germany.
