Uri Eiser, I and our partner got to know each other and started to a journey in the past. We visited the KZ Buchenwald, Breslau, Oppeln, Gleiwitz and of course Guttentag. The highlights of the journey:

I also offered the story to the German magazine "Spiegel". First the Spiegel wanted to publish it, but then the Spiegel wrote a version, with which I felt uncomfortable. The journalist focused the story exclusively on the guilt of my grandfather. I feared that the reader would misunderstand it as a campaign of vengeance in the framework of my family conflict. Therefore I wrote another version and focus exclusively on the Eisner family.

But then the Spiegel canceled the article and argued that I wanted to detract from the guilt of my grandfather. I can’t understand this critic and have got the impression that in Germany journalists still report rather about the stories of the perpetrator than about the victims.


I attached the correspondence here, so that you are able to get your own picture
and because the discussion itself is a document of contemporary history.

Although many of the producers were fascinated by the story, I got only letters of refusal. The time for stories considering the Nazi-period is obviously over. The contemporary generation of movie goer is not interested enough
