Enjoy the Music The Pianist Edith Kraus
From Wunderkind through Terezin to Israel
Film-screening and discussion
This remarkable film-documentary tells the story of Edith Kraus a talented young Jewish pianist who survived the Theresienstadt (Terezin) ghetto by giving concerts. Edith Kraus tells her story - of trauma and of life - in words and music.
The film is the result of five years of interviews with Edith Kraus and was made by German group analyst/psychoanalyst Marita Barthel-Rösing and her husband, Wilhelm Rösing a documentary filmmaker. The trust that develops over this time, between Edith, a survivor of the Holocaust and the filmmakers from the country of the perpetrators, gives rise to an extraordinary relationship that enables the thinking and telling of trauma to be explored in a powerful and moving way.
The film will be followed by short talks by Marita Barthel-Rösing and Stephen Frosh, and an open discussion.
