About this Event
The European Dream unravels a gripping journey into the shadows of history, as two grandchildren and a German lawyer embark on a mission to reclaim stolen art from the Nazi era. Propelled by a letter that lists invaluable artworks looted during World War II, they plunge into the vibrant and resilient Jewish community of Berlin. There, they unearth the shattered dreams of their grandfathers, Julius Klausner and Robert Graetz, German Jews who once envisioned a society where cultural and social integration could thrive.
The film poignantly captures their struggle against bureaucratic obstacles, auction houses bound by confidentiality laws, and individuals who hide behind statutes of limitations, all hindering the restoration of these priceless artworks to their rightful heirs.
Julius Klausner is one of the biographies featured in the exhibtion Von hier aus at the Exilmuseum. The screening of the documentary by his granddaughter, Mooly Landesman, complements the exhibition.
Director Mooly Landesman will be present for a talk after the screening.
With this ticket you can also visit the exhibition on the day of the event.
