Farewell, Herr Schwarz is Reuveny’s very personal look at her grandmother, Michla Schwarz, who, together with her brother Feiv’ke, were German Jewish survivors of the Holocaust. After WWII, Michla emigrated to Israel, while Feiv’ke stayed behind in the country that became communist East Germany.
Kino Lorber picked up the film from Cologne-based Rushlake Media.
