'Ingelore!'
 Film tells local woman's
story""Ingelore Honigstein never told her children about her childhood in Nazi Germany. Then Honigstein, who is deaf, went to a seminar on the deaf experience in the Holocaust where she told her story....over 500 people there. A woman in the audience had a son who was studying history at a university in California and he invited her to speak to the class. That was where Honigstein's son Frank Stiefel, a filmmaker in Los Angeles heard his mother's story for the first time."...."And that was how the 40-minute film 'INGELORE'....was made". (Published in Florida Jewish Journal 10/29/2009) |
