For the final film in our Germany on Campus series, we are proud to present Baal (1970), a film lost for nearly half a century and only recently restored for viewing. Director Volker Schlöndorff transported Bertolt Brecht’s 1918 debut play to contemporary West Germany for this vicious experiment in adaptation. Oozing with brutish charisma, Rainer Werner Fassbinder embodies the eponymous anarchist poet, who feels that bourgeois society has rejected him and sets off on a schnapps-soaked rampage.

This talk covers the range of responses from the Jewish community in the US to the Holocaust during World War II.
