10 documentary films at Cirko-Gejzír Cinema about the persecution of the Jews, the yellow-star houses, ghettoization, going into hiding, work camps and death camps, told via the stories of survivors and eye-witnesses. Films are in Hungarian; five have English or German subtitles. Continuous screening from 13:30 until 10 pm, in three rooms. FREE.
13:30 – 20:00 Prior to every film, we are screening a 1-minute silent film on the forced march of Jews through the streets of Budapest on October 17, 1944.
Following the Arrow Cross takeover of power on October 15, reports spread of armed resistance on Népszínház Street, and which could only be put down after some days, with German assistance. As a deterrent, the Arrow Cross rounded up dozens of people from nearby yellow-star houses on Tisza Kálmán (today Pope John Paul II) Square, and herded them to the Városi Theater. The group consisted mostly of women, elderly people and children, and after being forced to show ID documents and robbed, they then had to spend the night at the Tattersaal racing track. Over the coming days, they were force-marched to various points across the city. Numerous photographs and one film remain documenting this public humiliation campaign.
Ghetto, Óbuda brick factory, railway station, mass grave: this is what the neighbors of Hungarian Jews remember. What did they do, and what could they have done? What did they see, and what did they want to see of the events surrounding them during the final days of WWII?
Budapest Jews and survivors tell their personal stories with family photos, and letters and documents from the camps. Elderly people remember forced labor, the yellow-star decree, forced relocation into yellow-star houses, the Arrow Cross terror, plundering of property, and ghettoization.
In 1944, Rezső Kasztner rescued almost 1,700 Hungarian and Polish Jews from certain destruction. In Israel, he was declared a traitor and Nazi collaborator, tried, and shot in front of his apartment in 1957.
Film presenting the stories and deeds of a few heroic individuals: Tibor Almásy, Jenő Thassy, the Homonnay family and others who risked their own lives to save those of their Jewish compatriots in World War II: the Righteous.
In October 1990, 200 elderly Hungarian Jewish women visit Allendorf, Germany. Allendorf was part of the Buchenwald concentration camp. They bring with them memories from 45 years ago, and former prisoners talk about the brutality of the SS and gendarmes, and the apathy of the Hungarians: murdered relatives, the yellow-star houses and the ghetto, deportations and torture in the concentration camps. The paradox of the encounter: while the women detail their terrible memories, a jolly teenage girl pops up, singing and telling jokes, and who, almost half a century ago, had walked from the camp to the ordnance factory.
On the 70th anniversary of the German occupation, 12 former classmates from the Toldy school remember the tragic events. Viewing history from the perspective of a child brings a particularly unique perspective: hiding under a false name, a long summer spent with other people’s grandparents in the countryside. Some were in yellow-star houses, others in the ghetto. One lost both his hands in the bombings, others witness executions. With the participation of György Kézdy, Rudolf Ungváry, János Kende and József Székely.
Using archive film and newsreels, the film presents the history of Hungarian antisemitism from 1919 to 1944, from the anti-Jewish laws to the gas chambers.
Four busloads of middle-aged people sign up for the Coopturist offer: traveling to a former concentration camp. The travellers have been here before, although of course not on a journey organized by Coopturist, but by Hungarian Interior Ministry Secretary of State Endre László. As they approach Auschwitz, they start to remember: the ghetto in Hatvan, the cattle wagons, the barracks, the head shaving, Mengele, the gas chambers, and the smoking crematoria chimneys. With thanks to the film’s director for his consent.
