On the occasion of the Day of Franco-German Friendship on January 22 and in memory of the Elysee Treaty, we are showing: My grandpa was a Nazi
Information about the play:
How can a Holocaust survivor confront the granddaughter of a Nazi perpetrator? In "ZweitZeuge", Jean Vaislic and Ilka Vierkant tread the painful path of this confrontation. Both live in a state of silence - for different reasons. The granddaughter embarks on the process of discovering the hidden stories at the heart of her own family. Grandpa Werner was Reichsbahn director for the eastern territories. Jean Vaislic, who survived Auschwitz among other places, had to lay tracks as a concentration camp inmate in Auschwitz-Birkenau, which Grandpa could have planned.
The encounter with Jean in Toulouse became the impetus for the actress, who toured Europe for many years with FAMILIE FLÖZ, to develop a poetic puppet theater evening against forgetting. Inspired by the words of Jean Vaislic: "If I give in to a bad thought, I no longer exist. So when a bad thought overcomes me, I think of flowers."
A German-French and Polish story between the generations.
With: Ilka Vierkant (Compagnie VASISTDAS, Toulouse)
Duration. approx. 2 h incl. discussion and tasting of French specialties (only for the evening event)
Suitable for everyone and pupils aged 13 and over
