Two Trees in Jerusalem

Two Trees in Jerusalem, an animated documentary produced by Humanity in Action, profiles the remarkable history of Eberhard and Donata Helmrich, who together saved the lives of countless Jews during the Holocaust. The pair worked as a husband-and-wife team in the eye of the storm, in Berlin and the blood-soaked fields of Eastern Europe, devising ever-more daring gambits to save any life they could, even as death surrounded them. The history is dramatically narrated by the couple’s daughter Cornelia, who was called into her parents’ confidence as a young child, and was imbued with an inner-strength that guided her work decades later as a journalist, politician and as the Federal Comissioner for Foreigner’s Affairs.

Meanwhile, as Michael’s son sifts through what is left of his father’s once-vast collection and a director stages a museum displaying the objects from Michael’s life, questions of perspective, sacrifice, failure and the marks we leave behind are explored.

Guapo’y

Alfredo Stroessner was the longest ruling dictator on the South American continent, controlling Paraguay from 1954 to 1989 with an iron fist. Opponents were imprisoned, tortured or killed. In Guapo’y, Celsa, now in her 60s, looks back on that horrific period. Forty-five years ago, pregnant with her son, she was imprisoned and tortured. Later she learned that her husband had also been tortured and then murdered. After eight years, she was reunited with her mother, who herself had been imprisoned, and the two women talk about the traumatic past. We also hear the perspective of Celsa’s son. Celsa fights the demons in her mind with homemade herbal infusions and herbs applied to her body. The beauty of nature, which provides the herbs she carefully gathers, contrasts starkly with the horrific memories.
