Drogi do Auschwitz. Stella Goldschlag (1922–1994) – sprawca, oprawca i ofiara w jednej osobie (o filmie: Stella. Ein Leben)

Abstract

Presented to German audiences, the film directed by Kilian Reidhof, „Stella. Ein Leben” is a must watch. The script for the film was prepared and written jointly by: Marc Blöbaum, Jan Braren and director Reidhof, the music was composed by Peter Hinderthür. It is a feature-length film that is divided into three main parts in the setting of the events. The first is the period before the outbreak of the Second World War, the second Berlin during the military operations outside the Third Reich, and the third is the period of defeated Germany. The title role of Stella was played by Paula Beer, whose acting talent created the image of a young girl from a Jewish home. In the optics of the director’s work, we notice the selection of well-known, but also emerging actors from theatres, television and cinemas in Germany, Austria and Albania. The very date of the film’s premiere – taking a closer, broader look at an unknown story – was perhaps no coincidence. It took place on 25 January 2024, the day we commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
