An unscrupulous politician uses the rising price of eggs (!) to force the National Assembly in the city of Utopia to pass an antisemitic law, forcing all Jews to leave the country. Thus begins The City Without Jews, H.K. Breslauer’s 1924 silent masterpiece, produced, tragically, shortly before the satirical events depicted in the fictional story transformed into all-too-horrific reality.
With Live Music composed and performed by world-renowned klezmer violinist Alicia Svigals and celebrated silent film pianist Donald Sosin. The evening will include a short performance of Jewish Choral music from the Weimar Republic by Shirei Chesed Community Chorus and Cantor Natasha J. Hirschhorn with guest soloists.
