"... und dann haben wir uns verabschiedet..." - Buttenhausen - ein Dorf zwischen 1933 und 1942

About This Movie

... und dann haben wir uns verabschiedet... is a thought-provoking documentary that dives deep into the lives of Buttenhausen's residents from 1933 to 1942. Lea Rosh's interviews reveal personal stories that reflect a complex tapestry of Christian and Jewish coexistence in a small village. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the weight of each testimony to settle. You can feel the tension of the era through the way people recount their everyday experiences under the shadow of National Socialism. It’s not just historical recounting; it’s emotional and raw, capturing a time when small gestures spoke volumes. The lack of dramatic reenactments keeps it grounded, making the personal experiences shared all the more impactful. Definitely one to sift through for those interested in nuanced narratives of history.
