Yiddishland and The House of Israel are honored to host a screening of the silent film “The City without Jews,” a 1924 Austrian masterpiece, directed and produced by H.K. Breslauer. The film is based on a bestselling homonymous dystopian novel by Hugo Bettauer, which portrays the fictional Austrian city of “Utopia” (a thinly-disguised stand-in for Vienna), which passed an antisemitic law, forcing all Jews to leave the country. Although at first the decision was welcomed and met with celebration, as time went by, Utopia’s citizens faced an ongoing economic impoverishment and cultural decline that forced them to reconsider their decision and wonder whether to invite the Jews back. Though darkly comedic in tone and stylistically influenced by German Expressionism, the film nonetheless contains ominous and eerily realistic sequences, such as shots of freight trains transporting Jews out of the city. It is considered to be one of the few surviving Austrian expressionist films, being then the subject of research and interest both in Austria and around the world.

With jazz pianist Uli Geissendoerfer, she recently released Beregovsky Suite a recording of contemporary interpretations of Klezmer music from a long-lost Soviet Jewish archive. Her CD Fidl (1996) reawakened Klezmer fiddle tradition.
