Film: Im Land Meiner Eltern

“Had it not been for Hitler, I would have been born a German-Jewish child, more German than Jewish, in a small village in the South of Germany. But as it happened, I was born in Argentina, my mother tongue is Spanish. I came to Germany 17 years ago.” – Jeanine Meerapfel

On June 16, 2025, LBI will screen Im Land Meiner Eltern (In the Country of My Parents) a documentary by acclaimed German-Argentine director Jeanine Meerapfel. In this deeply personal film, Meerapfel follows her family’s German roots in search for her own Jewish identity.

This event is co-sponsored by Friends of Freiburg University. The screening will be followed by a wine and cheese reception.
