SCHOCK SCHALOM

It was an emotional filming trip across Germany. For my ZDF documentary SCHOCK SCHALOM, I interviewed eleven young Jews in Berlin, Munich, Osnabrück, Essen and Stuttgart. How are they feeling six months after the Hamas massacre of Israeli babies, children and parents? Do they still feel understood, protected and safe in Germany? What do they think of the Arab community, with some of whom they had done joint projects or go to the same school class? The answers are honest, unembellished and shocking – but despite all the bitterness, they are also surprisingly nuanced.
