SEVEN JEWS FROM MY CLASS
dir. Marcel Łoziński, Poland, 1991, 40 min
The screening is presented as part of the special WJFF project"Decades. 1945-2013."
"Seven Jews from My Class" is one of the first films to address the topic of the March '68 events in Poland. Marcel Łoziński interviews individuals who emigrated during the anti-Semitic purge, as they meet again at a class reunion. Some only realized they were Jewish during the course of the anti-Semitic campaign. The film explores the blurry category of subjective identity construction: A Jew? A Pole? A Jewish Pole? Or perhaps a Polish Jew, or a Pole of Jewish origin? We are dealing here with a group of people suddenly uprooted and cast out from a reality they were part of just a moment ago. Their biographies and their paths of emigration vary, but at one point, they meet again in Poland for a class reunion after many years.
