Copresented by the Goethe-Institut Hongkong and the Hong Kong Holocaust and Tolerance Centre (HKHTC), this special film programme commemorated the United Nations Holocaust Remembrance Day through the power of cinema, reflection, and dialogue.
Across one week, three acclaimed films were screened, each offering a distinct perspective on the Holocaust and its lasting moral, historical, and human impact:
The Disappearance of Josef Mengele
The Commandant’s Shadow
The Conference
All screenings were accompanied by post-screening talks, inviting audiences to engage more deeply with the films and the histories they confront.
We were honoured to welcome Daniela Völker, director of The Commandant’s Shadow, who joined the post-screening Q&A virtually. The programme also featured a special post-screening sharing by 93‑year‑old Larissa Cain, a Warsaw Ghetto survivor and Paris‑based author, who spoke about her personal experience and reflected on the importance of remembrance today.
Thank you for joining a meaningful cinematic journey of remembrance, learning, and conversation with us.
