Der neue Bond-Film dominiert alles, es gibt aber noch mehr zu entdecken: Omar Sy etwa als französischer Polizist mit Gewissensbissen, oder eine Doku über Menschen, die keine Gesichter erkennen können.

German-Australian author Walter Kaufmann dies at 97

Born Jizchak Schmeidler to a young Polish Jew in Berlin in 1924, he was adopted at the age of three by a wealthy family the Kaufmanns from western Germany. At the age of 15, with World War II imminent, he was among the last to make it onto one of the ‘Kindertransport’ trains taking German-Jewish children to England. After being interned there for two years, Kaufmann was deported to Australia. His adoptive parents were killed in Auschwitz. Kaufmann joined the Australian army during the war, later working various jobs while trying to establish himself as a writer. His first novel, Voices in the Storm, about a resistance group in Nazi Germany, was published in 1953.

The life of an exile | Inside Story

In a few months, pandemic permitting, Karin Kaper and Dirk Szuszies’s recently completed feature-length documentary Walter Kaufmann: Welch ein Leben! (Walter Kaufmann: What a Life!) will hit cinemas in Germany. But its subject, a German with an Australian passport, won’t be there for the film’s opening night. He died in Berlin on 15 April. Kaufmann had turned ninety-seven in January. Virtually anybody who reaches such a ripe old age has led a life worth making into a film or writing about, for that matter. Kaufmann’s story, that of a refugee from Nazi Germany who became an Australian writer and then moved to the old East Germany, was particularly rich.
