Jews, Germany, Memory - A Contemporary Portrait

Jewish life in Germany fifty years after the Holocaust? Is it really possible in the country to which Harvard scholar Daniel Goldhagen recently attributed an 'eliminatorist anti-Semitism' during the Third Reich?
American-born, Berlin-based photographer and writer Edward Serotta spent more than five years traveling through Germany. Detailing contemporary Jewish life in the land of the perpetrator, as well as the surprising wave of philo-Semitism sweeping Germany today, Serotta's photographs and essays explore questions that to go the root of the Jewish - and German - experience. Have Jews really made a home here? Have Germans really learned from their past?
A sensitive and sometimes uneasy portrait that combines words and pictures, 'Jews, Germany, Memory' is a comprehensive study of a strange and powerful relationship, where shame of the past is intertwined with hope for the future.
