  • Heftige Gefühle Entwickeln«
    »Heftige Gefühle entwickeln« Menschen | Zum Tod des Filmregisseurs Joseph Vilsmaier »Das Filmen ist nicht nur mein Beruf, es ist auch mein Hobby, seit ich 14 bin. Da kommt also alles zusammen. Das versuche ich so gut wie möglich zu machen“, hatte Joseph Vilsmaier vor knapp drei Jahren rückblickend in einem Interview bekannt. Von PETER MOHR Er war zwar mit der Kamera groß geworden, doch als Regisseur war der Ur-Bayer, der in ganz jungen Jahren in einer Jazzband spielte, ein Spätberufener. Vilsmaier stand schon kurz vor seinem 50. Geburtstag, als ihm mit der Verfilmung von Anna Wimschneiders Memoirenband ›Herbstmilch‹ der große Durchbruch gelang. Der Familienbetrieb Vilsmaier war über viele Jahre in der Filmbranche eine feste Größe. Neben Ehefrau Dana Vavrova, mit der der Regisseur von 1986 bis zu deren Krebstod 2009 verheiratet war, standen auch die Töchter Janina, Theresa und Josefina schon früh vor der Kamera. Das Mädeltrio verkörperte in ›Marlene‹ die junge Dietrich in verschiedenen Altersstufen. Dieser Film ist ein Vilsmaier von A bis Z – er fungierte als Produzent, Regisseur und Kameramann in Personalunion. Nach ›Herbstmilch‹ wurde Vilsmaier zunächst spöttisch als »Heimatfilmer« bezeichnet – ein Etikett, mit dem der ausgebildete Kameramann und einstige Klavierstudent keine Probleme hatte. Heimat hatte für Vilsmaier nicht nur eine geografische, sondern auch eine historische Dimension: »Deutsche Geschichte ist auch Heimat.« Die Auseinandersetzung mit der Historie zog sich wie ein roter Faden durch Vilsmaiers erfolgreiche Regiearbeit: von ›Herbstmilch‹ (1988) über die Neuverfilmung von ›Stalingrad‹ (1992), über die ›Comedian Harmonists‹ (1997) und ›Marlene‹ (1999) bis hin zu ›Gustloff‹ (2008). Joseph Vilsmaier, der am 24. Januar 1939 in München als Sohn eines Flugzeugtechnikers geboren wurde, begann als 14-jähriger bereits mit einer kameratechnischen Ausbildung.

THE MOSAIC MONTHLY ESSAY • EPISODE 2 June: The Truth of the Capture of Adolf Eichmann 1x 00:00|60:58 Sixty years ago last month, on the evening of May 23, 1960, the Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion made a brief but dramatic announcement to a hastily-summoned session of the Knesset in Jerusalem: A short time ago, Israeli security services found one of the greatest of the Nazi war criminals, Adolf Eichmann, who was responsible, together with the Nazi leaders, for what they called “the final solution” of the Jewish question, that is, the extermination of six million of the Jews of Europe. Eichmann is already under arrest in Israel and will shortly be placed on trial in Israel under the terms of the law for the trial of Nazis and their collaborators. In the cabinet meeting immediately preceding this announcement, Ben-Gurion’s ministers had expressed their astonishment and curiosity.

The mere mention of these places and others like them is a devastating reminder of the ultimate experience in human suffering. These were a few of the many concentration camps -- death camps -- designed to carry out Hitler's Final Solution: to exterminate as many Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, and Homosexuals as possible and create a supreme Aryan' society. Millions upon millions of innocent civilians would suffer miserable deaths before the liberation would come.2 Who were these per- secutors? While the Nazis3 devised "the plan," supplied the materials and man-power to build the camps, and supervised these atrocities, only a few of the death camps were actually located in Germany. The camps were situated in various Slavic countries which had capitulated under Nazi onslaught.' To assist them in their crimes, the Nazis obtained the cooperation of some of the local people and prisoners of war.' Whether their participation was voluntary or not, 1.

Shpiro, 1997 Dramatis Personae & Chapter 1 … thru … Chapter 30 Index J J J J J I I I I I Introduction by Shlomo J. Shpiro THE PUBLIC trial in Israel of Adolf Eichmann, the man who directed the Third Reich’s ‘Final Solution’, was held in 1961 under an unprecedented publicity coverage. The trial, which took place in Jerusalem, attracted hundreds of reporters and media crews from all over the world. For the first time since the end of the Second World War the horrific crimes of the Nazi regime against the Jewish people were exposed in all their brutality by one of their leading perpetrators. Eichmann stood at the top of the Gestapo pyramid dedicated to the destruction of Europe’s Jewry, and was personally responsible not only for policy decisions but for the everyday running of this unparalleled genocide. His trial and subsequent execution brought to millions of homes around the world the untold story of the Holocaust from its chief administrator. (I-1) The Eichmann trial had a profound influence in particular on the young generation of Israeli citizens, born after the end of the Second World War. This generation, born into a country which had built itself as a national home for the Jewish people in order to prevent such persecution in the future, swore as it joined the army ‘never again’ to let Jewish people be led to their death unresisting.

The Jewish acting student Harry Frommermann wants to start a male A-capella group similar to the American Revellers. Robert Biberti, an incompa­ rable bass accepted the invitation, followed by four, up to that point, rather unsuccess­ ful artists: the tenor and women's idol Ari Leschnikoff, the elegant counter tenor Erich Abraham Collin, the introvert Polish baritone Roman Cycowski, and the pianist Erwin Bootz. The group of six experienced a phenomenal career that included radio and film per­ formances as well as travels to many countries. However, beginning in 1934, the singing style of the ensemble was labelled "Jewish-Marxist" according to Nazi cultural tenets. With three Jewish members in the group, they were forbidden to perform in Germany. At the same time, old conflicts within the group resurfaced, the breakup was unavoidable.
