German Film on Stolen Jewish Property Acclaimed

German Film on Stolen Jewish Property Acclaimed

(ISJM) Human Error (Menschliches Versagen), by Michael Verhoevena, a documentary film about the Aryanization of Jewish property in Germany, won the top prize in German documentaries on Jewish themes at the 15th annual Berlin Jewish Film Festival.

Isn't it weird that there should be such a specified category? It suggests the huge number of documentaries on Jewish themes that must be produced each year (and I've consulted on my share!).

This film sounds important, and together with Rape of Europa should probably be required viewing for all those attending the upcoming Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets in Prague.
