Menachem and Fred
Israel/2008, English; German and Hebrew (with subtitles) 90 min. Documentary
Two Jewish brothers from a small German town are separated during the war while living at a French orphanage. Shortly after the war, the older brother--Fred, then 16--left for America and found that assimilation was easier than his Jewish identity. The younger brotherMenachem--then 13, made his way to Palestine and continued to live a traditional Jewish life. Each had many unresolved issues with the other, including feelings of abandonment and guilt. Only after 60 years were the brothers able to reunite, and this story, highly emotional in parts, explains how that event happened
Following the film on Sunday, November 15:
Meet and ask questions of Fred Raymes, one of the two brothers featured in the movie. Fred was saved from deportation by the Quakers, and he will talk about his familys assimilation, as well as their difficulty in confronting issues around the Holocaust. You will want to hear about his very personal and somewhat difficult reunion with his brother, Menachem, who is also featured in the film. Now retired from the Defense Industry, Fred Raymes is involved in Holocaust education in the Sarasota, Florida area, among other activities.
