Sight of Memory - Bischofstrasse, Linz

This documentary is based upon the director’s journey to Linz, Austria where he was born on 1937. Micha was born in Bishopstrasse 7, as a third generation in the same house. His neighbors on Bishopstrasse 1 were once a family of the protestant pastor Robert Eichmann, who accepted and blessed the director’s father as a leader of the Jewish community in Linz. Robert Eichmann was also the father of Adolf Eichman, who was a chief officer in the German army, and was brought to trial in Israel and was condemned of war crimes against the Jews. The aim of this proposed documentary is primarily to focus on these and similar stories, which so often seem imaginary or coincidental, and to portray the shared past of the victims and victimizers of the Holocaust.
