Leben und Überleben
A documentary portrait of Erich Richard Finsches: a Viennese contemporary witness, Holocaust survivor, and person of public interest. The portrait will first shed light on Erich Finsches' youth, which was marked by persecution by the Nazis. It will explore his character and examine how his experiences shaped him. His later life in post-war Vienna will also be discussed, and the film will explore how the then 18-year-old Erich, alone, without parents, but with firm determination and a zest for life, built a new existence for himself. We gain insight into the everyday life of Erich Finsches, now 94 years old, who, despite his history marked by the past, is still tireless in his efforts to convey his story to younger generations. His walking disability hardly prevents him from tirelessly attending commemorative ceremonies and schools at home and abroad to tell his story and convey his message of “never again” to students and interested parties.
After the movie there will be a talk with Erich Richard Finsches.
