Judenhass: Unser Leben nach dem 7. Oktober

January 10, 2024

After the brutal massacre by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023, the worst act of bloodshed against Jews since World War II, anti-Semitism has reached a new qualitative dimension worldwide, including in Germany: arson attacks on synagogues, Star of David markings on front doors, graffiti on Holocaust memorials, well-attended demonstrations with anti-Israel slogans and shouts of "get out of here" at German universities by supposedly left-wing extremists, whose blatant threatening gestures and threats of annihilation are more reminiscent of the views of their Nazi grandfathers. Where is the state taking consistent action against such hostilities and where is the loud protest from the middle of society? Is Jewish life still safe in Germany? The documentary film has followed four German Jews in their fight against hatred over the last three months since the massacre and lets them report on their experiences.

Following more than three years of exploratory research, photography, and writing about the singular view from his Brooklyn studio, Groeneboer took up a daily practice over the subsequent two and a half years of filming the panorama through his window. This process entailed a durational commitment to witnessing the presence of architectures and systems that are often hidden from everyday life. The resulting film is a visual meditation that follows the cyclical rhythms of weather and industry to offer a portrait of New York City in relation to the forces that shape it, including late-stage capitalism and environmental crises.

When human remains are found alongside a variety of Roman artefacts, none of the team at Albion Archaeology see anything out of the ordinary.

When they do some research, they find that only one confirmed example has ever been unearthed before, discovered in the 1960s in Jerusalem. To find out more, they call in renowned Osteoarchaeologist Dr Corinne Duhig to investigate.
