New Delhi, July 20 : Keith Thomas, who has directed the horror film The Vigil , has opened up about what drew him to making a movie on Jewish pain, holocaust and antisemitism.
Thomas has said that a part of making a Jewish film comes from his own family history. He said he lost family not only in the Holocaust but also in pogroms before and this is something that always struck him as a child. We conceptualise the Holocaust as this indescribably devastating event, but there were lots of other incidents. In my mind, even in the film, we are only showing the tiniest moment of the Holocaust through one man s experience, and it s just as powerful and destructive as what happens to Yakov s brother on the street, the filmmaker said.
