Along with the film The German People the documentaries The Moelln Letters (written and directed by Martina Priessner) and The Lie (Katrin Seybold and Melanie Spitta) met with great interest from the public at this year’s Berlin Film Festival with the former winning the Panorama Audience Award arson attacks by neo-Nazis in the small town of Moelln in Schleswig-Holstein (Germany’s northernmost state) destroyed the life of İbrahim Arslan’s family The seven-year-old boy survived the fire but lost his sister Unlike the racist riots that took place in the same year in Rostock-Lichtenhagen in eastern Germany these attacks were not directed against refugees but specifically against German-Turkish families who had lived in the country for a long time The event provoked worldwide outrage and led to mass demonstrations and candlelight vigils against right-wing extremism throughout Germany Ibrahim Arslan learned by chance that there were countless letters of solidarity from all over Germany addressed to the affected families offering them comfort and courage but which the city administration had withheld from them They remained in the office for public order and social welfare and then in the city archive The mayor responsible at the time was the lawyer Joachim H In her retrospective account of the events in Mölln director Martina Priessner highlights the contrast between the official attitudes and those of the victims and their supporters presenting a sensitive portrait of the lasting trauma that continues to shape their lives up to the present After going public and speaking at school meetings who was rescued from the burning house as an infant also struggles with anxiety attacks and is in psychotherapy In her director’s statement for the Berlinale who met Ibrahim Arslan in 2020 and first learned then about the solidarity letters says this conversation left a lasting impression on her How could it be that these important messages of solidarity never reached the victims of the racist attack And what does that actually say about how this society deals with victims of right-wing terror She helped the relatives of the victims gain access to the letters and establish contact with the letter writers This leads to a moving encounter in the film between Ibrahim and Sonja who sent a letter and a lucky charm in 1992 when she was just 12 years old “Remembrance requires action” is the motto of the city’s official annual commemoration of the attacks is limited to passive expressions of consternation he and others affected were reduced to the role of extras and have therefore been organizing their own annual memorial event for some time also remains silent about his behavior at the time which is incompatible with democratic principles The city administration not only confiscated and archived the letters it went so far as to partially open and answer them Ibrahim reads out the official reply to one letter which was allegedly forwarded to the relatives “in the hope that it would bring them comfort.” However The relatives remember that the mayor left them on their own and did not visit them personally They themselves would have had to take care of the people who had been made homeless by the fire Ibrahim is particularly angry about the official comment that the families could have picked up the letters at any time How could they have picked up something they had no idea existed The film accompanies the families to the archive to receive the letters which they now want to transfer to the “Documentation Center and Museum of Migration in Germany” (DOMiD) in Cologne Trust has been destroyed in the Moelln archive The archivist is still the same person as in 1992 Ibrahim vents his frustration at the constant delays in the handover It is the “institutional approach,” he asserts a “white German person” who is not affected by “everyday racism” could never put himself or herself in the family’s shoes the police (who had apparently already labeled the Arslans as a so-called “problem family”) initially investigated the murdered family instead of looking for the right-wing perpetrators Ibrahim reports on his efforts to organize migrants from different backgrounds against racism which sees racism not as the policy of a ruling class that tries to play off and divide the workers but as a characteristic of “white politicians” or a “white-dominant society.” They transform a small Qur’an with burn marks which belonged to a girl killed in the house into an impersonal object that is handled with gloves The picture of the high stack of boxes in the archive points in a different direction and Ibrahim is also a person who does not discriminate in his everyday life he is deeply touched by the extent of the sympathy shown in 1992 The Moelln Letters repeatedly shows messages written by children written to offer comfort and strength to the family The Panorama Audience Award for The Moelln Letters is an expression of the widespread opposition in the population to far-right terror a solidarity with migrants and increasing outrage against state representatives who invoke the “we” that they actually fear and sabotage German bureaucracy has its own special history Ever since its emergence in the 19th century under Bismarck it has been a primary instrument of German capitalism to suppress any democratic stirrings from below The top priority was “law and order” rather than democracy The Lie was made in 1987 by Katrin Seybold and Melanie Spitta The rarely shown film was recently digitally restored and screened in the Forum Special at the Berlinale The “lie” refers to the cynical use of the word “reparations” by German authorities after World War II referring to the state handouts given to some of the surviving concentration camp victims The state apparatus at the time was infested by thousands of former Nazis When the victims returned to society after the war and began to make public the crimes they had experienced the state feared the general population would show solidarity with them It largely silenced the victims and fuelled politically and socially backward sentiments the state did not want to compensate Sinti and Roma for the crimes—forced labor sterilization and extermination—committed against them and demanded proof the victims were even German which had lived in the country for centuries the authorities did not return passports to the “stateless.” When compensation claims were made the assessors were often former Nazis who demanded impossible proof of persecution were in their own possession and kept under lock and key The Lie recounts the case of a woman suffering from tuberculosis who was supposed to prove her illness was a result of her time in the camps and not an infection from a relative proves that the relative’s tuberculosis itself was in fact a product of conditions in a concentration camp Particularly insidious was the claim that Sinti and Roma were not subjected to racial persecution or only after the 1943 Auschwitz decree Nazi racial researchers had attributed to them a racial “migratory instinct” and a penchant for crime that supposedly made them incapable of social integration those affected report how Sinti and Roma were systematically isolated and criminalized in the second half of the 1930s Those who had work involving travel were stripped of their jobs All were forbidden to leave their places of residence Then they were evicted from their apartments and locked up in ghetto-like camps guarded by police where they were forced to be available for forced labor and as objects of racial research During the period of the so-called economic miracle of the 1950s the racist persecution of Sinti and Roma continued seamlessly The film quotes a 1956 document of the German Federal Court of Justice which compares them to “primitive prehistoric men.” The German police would still be relying on the “gypsy files” of the Third Reich’s criminal investigation department had the civil rights movement of the Sinti and Roma not put an end to this practice in the early 1980s through an intense public campaign that attracted international attention old film footage and interviews with concentration camp survivors the countless private photos that Sinti families made available for the film are very moving they themselves were given a voice in a film about the Nazi crimes against their families and their continuing persecution after the war The voice that guides the viewer through the film belongs to co-director Melanie Spitta (1946-2005) health offices (the latter supervised the sterilization) and other state authorities—that organized the crimes Some of the scientific community were deeply involved in the extermination refused to see a doctor again after the traumatic experiences None of those responsible were ever punished “Those who brought us to Auschwitz were believed,” is the film’s bitter conclusion former head of the police “Department for Gypsy Affairs” in Berlin worked as a criminal investigator after the war A sought-after “expert” was the racial researcher Robert Ritter who found employment as a doctor at the Frankfurt am Main health department The reason for the continuation of the persecution was not that racist prejudices were so enduring and deep-going although the Nazis and postwar German capitalist politicians no doubt did hold deplorable views about this minority the ruling class consciously used existing prejudices about mythical “Gypsies,” who never existed historically giving them a scientific veneer through “racial research,” to create a climate of mutual mistrust The bourgeois fear of the working class continued in the offices of post-war society and alongside the call for “law and order,” the call for rearmament soon resounded The demonic image of the restless wanderer and work-shy parasite who poses a danger to German society has been repeatedly revived in the refugee-baiting of recent decades Since the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the ongoing criminalization of Roma refugees from Eastern Europe many German Roma and Sinti fear that history might repeat itself The film is a powerful indictment of the Federal Republic of Germany which did not deal with the country’s Nazi past but rather prevented any genuine reckoning with the crimes of the Third Reich It should be added at this point that the long-standing resistance of high-ranking German politicians to the establishment of a central memorial for the Sinti and Roma of Europe murdered by the Nazis which was inaugurated in Berlin in 2012 and is now endangered by a Deutsche Bahn project was also justified on the grounds that the Sinti and Roma were persecuted for criminal offences and not due to fascist policy Feature Films Database Southern Mediterranean films database Scriptwriters European Film Schools Production Companies Distributors

one note is signed by “an ashamed These were well-intentioned letters from people who simply wanted to help but the rhetoric speaks to a continuous social malaise What we witness is ultimately symptomatic of a society where pain and suffering are bureaucratised and rationalised Priessner’s method is to act as the antidote to this by exposing us repeatedly to accounts of intergenerational trauma from the victims and those empathising with them but viewers are forced to feel deeply through the siblings’ stories If one thing is clear by the end of The Moelln Letters it’s that bureaucratisation is not true remembrance – a condolence letter here a memorial there; only real actions could serve as such The Moelln Letters is a German production by Berlin-based company inselfilm produktion, and its world sales are handled by Cologne-based outfit New Docs Please subscribe to our newsletter to receive more stories like this directly in your inbox “Working with these historical documents felt so special” BERLINALE 2025: The German documentarian spoke about her work, which revisits many painful memories from German history and the tragic events of 1992 22/02/2025 BERLINALE 2025: Dag Johan Haugerud’s final instalment in his trilogy, Dreams (Sex Love), has received the FIPRESCI Award for Best Competition Film and the Guild Film Prize 22/02/2025 | Berlinale 2025 | Panorama/Awards The festival features a total of 36 premieres across its Open Horizons, NextGen, AI Tribute and Special Screenings sections, showcasing fresh perspectives on global issues and untold stories 20/02/2025 | Thessaloniki Documentary 2025 BERLINALE 2025: Martina Priessner signs an immensely profound documentary about the continuous trauma inflicted by an event 30 years ago, all while speaking to Germany’s sociopolitical landscape 14/02/2025 | Berlinale 2025 | Panorama Martina Priessner’s documentary tells the stories of the victims and survivors of the racist arson attacks in Mölln in 1992 13/02/2025 | Production | Funding | Germany Ina Weisse, Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay and Andreas Prochaska push boundaries with bold narratives, while Isaac Julien’s sequel to Looking for Langston joins Ira Sachs’ reflection on art and life 28/01/2025 | Berlinale 2025 | Panorama New works by Jan-Ole Gerster, Ira Sachs, Frelle Petersen, Andreas Prochaska, Denis Côté and Michel Gondry are among the films revealed so far 17/12/2024 | Berlinale 2025 | Berlinale Special/Panorama/Generation 06/05/2025Crossing Europe 2025 Review: Slackers 06/05/2025Crossing Europe 2025 Review: Callas, Darling 02/05/2025goEast 2025 Review: My Magical World 30/04/2025Films / Reviews – Italy Review: San Damiano 30/04/2025Hot Docs 2025 Review: King Matt the First 29/04/2025Films / Reviews – Italy Review: Storia di una notte Subscribe to our newsletter to receive the most important daily or weekly news on European cinema Festivals / Awards Spain The 21st Play-Doc continues the dialogue between past and present Crossing Europe 2025 Crossing Europe 2025 Cannes 2025 Marché du Film The Party’s Over! leads France TV distribution’s Cannes slate CPH:DOX 2025 CPH:DOX Industry Europa Distribution explores the release of documentaries at CPH:DOX Cannes 2025 Marché du Film AFCI runs its second annual Global Film Commission Network Summit at Marché du Film Festivals / Awards Czech Republic Czech Republic’s Anifilm goes sci-fi Distribution / Releases / Exhibitors Europe European Arthouse Cinema Day set to return on 23 November Cannes 2025 Marché du Film Indie Sales presents a three-star line-up at Cannes HOFF 2025 The Shadow and U Are the Universe win at Estonia’s Haapsalu Horror and Fantasy Film Festival Crossing Europe 2025 Awards The New Year That Never Came and The Flats crowned at Crossing Europe Cannes 2025 Marché du Film Be For Films to sell Love Me Tender in Cannes Market TrendsFOCUSA busy spring festival season awaits the European film industry.

Arslan was victim to one of Germany’s most notorious racist attacks in 1992 when two neo-Nazis set fire to his home in the northern town of Mölln killing three members of his family. Priessner listened stunned as Arslan told the audience of his distress at discovering in 2019 that nearly 1,000 letters of solidarity from around the country had been hidden in the local town hall archives for 27 years never passed on to the family by the municipality when you’re in the aftermath of such an event all you must want is a bit of support,” Priessner said what were the structures that allowed this to happen and for this solidarity to not reach the victims?” “It really feels like we have learned nothing,” said Priessner “There’s been a continuation of far-right terror in German society and our politicians do not face up to it.” but I wish we would stop talking about the perpetrators and instead engage with and support those affected.” Speaking ahead of the film’s premiere on 14 February, Arslan recalls being approached by Priessner, who speaks fluent Turkish and had worked on several projects looking at German-Turkish migration with the idea of making a film focused on the letters it alleviates the pain a little,” he said. On the night of 22 November 1992 two young neo-Nazis firebombed the Arslan family’s house and the home of their neighbours but the Arslans’ stairs and hallways were blocked by flames escaped unharmed after his 51-year-old grandmother Bahide Arslan wrapped him in a wet towel along with Ibrahim’s 10-year-old sister Yeliz and 14-year-old cousin Ayşe. Examining how the events of 1992 continue to affect Arslan and his family the documentary questions how German society fails victims of far-right terror Arslan tells Priessner about the flashbacks he suffers triggered by things like food burning in the kitchen who was just nine months old at the time of the fire talks of his crippling survivor’s guilt: “As a child I wished I had died rather than my sister.” a student conducting research into the fire in the Mölln town hall archives discovered 908 letters They were addressed to the Arslan family courtesy of the town hall some offering financial assistance and employment as they could have transformed our lives,” Arslan said. Arslan explains that his family sustained a “second attack” when police accused them of starting the fire themselves despite the perpetrators calling the fire department the same night with an anonymous confession This accusation was repeated in media reports The only alternative housing offered by the municipality was a shipping container home intended for refugees leaving the family with little choice but to move back into the house where the tragedy occurred “If we had known that so many people were expressing solidarity with us Priessner started filming Arslan’s efforts to track down the letter writers in 2023 but Arslan has so far spoken with more than 20 Three of these meetings are captured in the documentary “It was such an indescribable feeling meeting these people who were mostly children when they wrote to me — the same as I was,” said Arslan “They shared my anger that the letters were kept from my family.” Priessner and Arslan see Die Möllner Briefe as a challenge to Germany’s “memory culture” Authorities keep the horrors of the Nazi era in public consciousness through events while victims of far-right violence are sidelined or ignored. “The lack of interest in and empathy with the victims of far-right terror stops us from facing up to these events properly,” Priessner said “The fact that for nearly 30 years those letters were just sitting in the archive says a lot about our society and how we treat the victims.” Today, the letters are kept in the Documentation Centre and Museum on Migration in Germany (DOMiD) in Cologne where they are being digitised and will eventually be available to the public. otherwise we end up with a ‘forgetting culture’,” Arslan said The Mölln Letters is showing at the Berlin film festival on 14 Hyphen is the leading media platform on Muslim life in the UK and Europe Sign up to our newsletter to receive our top stories straight to your inbox every week This form may not be visible due to adblockers © 2025 Hyphen® / Link Media Corporation Ltd PRODUCTION / FUNDING Germany by Davide Abbatescianni 13/02/2025 - Martina Priessner’s documentary tells the stories of the victims and survivors of the racist arson attacks in Mölln in 1992 The new feature helmed by the award-winning filmmaker tells the stories of the victims and survivors of the racist arson attacks in Mölln in 1992 it aims to bring forth “a new perspective on remembrance” while “amplifying the voices of survivors and victims and uncovering the hidden solidarity they were unaware of for years” Priessner studied Social and Cultural Sciences at Humboldt University in Berlin and works as an independent filmmaker premiered in the National Competition of DOK Leipzig in 2010 and was nominated for the Grimme Prize in 2011 Priessner created the found-footage film Everyday I’m Capuling (2013) which focused on the Gezi Park protests in Istanbul she also produced the film 650 Wörter (2015) exploring themes of migration and language Finally, her documentary The Guardian, developed with the support of BKM where it was awarded the Goethe-Institut Documentary Film Prize The events in Mölln marked the first racist attack in reunified Germany claiming the lives of three people: ten-year-old Yeliz Arslan 14-year-old Ayşe Yılmaz and 51-year-old Bahide Arslan Bahide managed to rescue her seven-year-old grandson the city received hundreds of letters of solidarity that remained unnoticed for decades Interwoven with İbrahim's poignant journey of rediscovery and his encounters with three of the letter writers these long-forgotten messages form a powerful visual bridge between past and present offering a complex portrayal of the lasting trauma that continues to shape their lives While İbrahim has channelled his pain into fighting racism and advocating for victims his brother Namık still struggles with the scars of the past The Moelln Letters is being produced by German outfit inselfilm produktion, and is supported by BKM and Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.

The film was The Second Attack. After the screening, we talked for the entire evening, and he told me about the letters. I was just shocked. Then we said goodbye and agreed to stay in touch. Two weeks later, I called him and asked if he was open to embarking on this journey with me. I had Inselfilm Produktion by my side from the start What was the reaction of those involved when you told them you would be addressing such a deeply personal and painful topic?It was a complex process introduced the project and spoke Turkish with them expressing herself in her native language was important but then his brother Namik stepped forward he became another key figure in the process and they’re at very different stages in their lives which made for an interesting angle [to explore] And then there’s Yeliz – I would have loved for her to have more space although her involvement wasn’t planned at all the father was supposed to play a bigger role he was exhausted and told me he didn’t want to participate The people from Ratzeburger Straße in Mölln were also really important to us The city of Mölln ignored them for 30 years Excerpts from the Moelln letters are interspersed throughout the documentary What was your process for selecting which ones to include?I went through these letters and postcards so many times trying to identify recurring patterns and ways to categorise them I really enjoyed the process because working with these historical documents felt so special I discovered new things – even during the editing process One of the strongest recurring themes was shame which was incredibly powerful in some of the letters These letters testify to a solidarity that existed but which could never become a tangible social force.. What other keywords would you use to describe your film?I’d start with “comfort” written by people who took the time to sit down and truly express themselves Some are outstanding examples of poetry and deeply heartfelt words – many were written by women and schoolteachers since schools bear a certain responsibility I found it impactful that teachers had their students pause everything and either draw something or write a message to the family which stood out because some letters were written by Holocaust survivors Germany found itself in a nationalist frenzy the constitutional state recoiled from the growing racist mob on the streets Right-wing arson attacks and murders are leaving a trail of blood across the country you realise just how much continuity matters especially when examining right-wing terror in Germany “shame” is also significant as a psychological concept I believe that if you ignore something for long enough “suppression” and “rejection” are also key themes point to the structural racism that allowed these letters to sit untouched for 30 years you don't have to confront your own responsibility Instead of reproducing the perpetrators’ narratives the film focuses on the voices of the survivors Those affected are the main witnesses to their own story The aim is to raise awareness of the responsibility our institutions have when it comes to dealing with victims But it’s also about the responsibility of every single person who has privileges in this society Because if you don’t question these structures you support them - whether consciously or unconsciously 06/05/2025 Lionel Massol • Producer, Films Grand Huit“We want to produce films that tell the story of society, with a strong artistic bias” 02/05/2025 Annegret Richter • Artistic director, Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film“There’s no definition of which target group it has to be for; you can tell any story with stop motion” 02/05/2025 Sanja Božić-Ljubičić • CEO, Pickbox, Mediatranslations, Mediavision and NEM“We will always stay focused on the CEE region, a region that’s unique – it can be challenging, but it’s also incredibly rewarding” 30/04/2025 Mirko Goran Marijanac • Media sales executive, DeAPlaneta Entertainment“It’s all about using AI ethically, and making the most of its tools to boost efficiency in animation and distribution” 29/04/2025 Anne Pouliquen • Founder and Director, Futura Cinema“Futura Cinema acts as a bridge between cinemas, cultural innovation and technological solutions” all interviews Germany on Monday marked the 28th anniversary of a racist firebomb attack in Moelln as Turkish community leaders called for stronger action against the far-right threat chairman of the Turkish Community in the northernmost state of Schleswig-Holstein said racism and xenophobia remain as Germany’s most serious problems nearly three decades after the deadly arson attack targeting immigrants “We are deeply concerned that despite all the efforts to address discrimination and intolerance racist and anti-Semitic violence has not declined rather it continues as it has been before,” he said and family members on Monday gathered in front of a local house which was firebombed by neo-Nazis and laid flowers in tribute to the attack victims Turkish citizens Bahide Arslan and her two granddaughters Yeliz Arslan and Ayse Yilmaz were killed on Nov 1992 when firebombs were thrown into their home by neo-Nazis Nine others were also injured in the attack which was followed by dozens of similar attacks in the 1990s at least 184 people have been killed in Germany by neo-Nazi terror More than 50 of the victims were members of the Turkish community.

Home Baby by Andreas Prochaska is opening the 2025 Panorama which is presenting a total of 35 films from 28 countries Genre cinema is mixing it up in the programme multi-faceted German filmmaking will be catching the eye while queer cinema is once again making a strong showing well beyond the common clichés Sébastien Betbeder and Fernando Eimbcke are all included a series is also featured this year: four episodes of Other People’s Money “The filmmakers in this year’s Panorama programme have developed diverse cinematic strategies to address the unspoken and capture the unimaginable or forgotten battered bodies and precarious health systems They depict shaky democracies and social terror while simultaneously focusing on humanity and solidarity,” notes section head Michael Stütz they cross boundaries and create free spaces to bring these stories to the screen and share them with us.” Austrian director Andreas Prochaska styles the psychological homeland horror as a cinematic antithesis to the urban-rural dichotomy of the German-language cinema of repression of the 1950s Genre elements can also be found elsewhere in the programme: from the satirical Norwegian body horror Den stygge stesøsteren (The Ugly Stepsister) to the Turkish political thriller Confidente (Confidante) and the gay Taiwanese gangster ballad Silent Sparks Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay’s German conspiracy thriller Hysteria is ambiguous and provocative embracing the film-within-a-film motif and enriching it with political subject matter and some breath-taking twists German cinema is well represented

circuit under the aegis of ADAC Hansa for the first time The track offers a good mix of tricky chicanes fast sections and lots of jumps and will again eminently suit the sand specialists among the riders Although current leader in the standings Dennis Ullrich (23 KTM Sarholz Racing Team) is not really an expert on loose ground the triple champion has already shown this year on Fürstlich Drehna’s deep sand and again on the loose clay soil at Jauer that his good performance is not necessarily track-dependent I used to have to practise damage limitation on sandy tracks but I now know how to deal with them and am really looking forward to Mölln because it’s always an exciting challenge to ride at a completely new circuit for sure!” ‘Ulle’ currently has a 21-point lead on rivals Jens Getteman (23 / BEL Monster Energy Kawasaki Elf Team Arrow) and Brian Hsu (19 KTM) is from the local area and also intends to be at the starting gate for the third round of the ADAC MX Masters The business engineering student lives in Hoisdorf near Hamburg He has been a member of MSC Mölln for a number of years and trains there regularly on the sandy circuit “I’m really passionate about this sport and am very pleased that another organising club has stepped up to the plate to host this meeting at Mölln in my home region so I really hope not to disappoint the fans and my family A finish in the Top Twenty should definitely be possible,” said the 25-year-old He picked up vital points during the European Championship recently in the Netherlands on the sand at Valkenswaard and will now try to produce another good performance on a sandy track Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team) and the two German MX talents Henry Jacobi (20 KTM GST Berlin) will also contest this race weekend A total of around 235 riders from 26 countries have registered to enter The ADAC MX Youngster Cup is being hotly contested at the moment as just one point separates the top three riders championship leader Miro Sihvonen (18 / FIN KTM) will do his utmost at the MSC Mölln meeting to increase the gap on his two rivals Team Suzuki World MX2) and Richard Sikyna (19 because I just know that I’m currently the best in my class but I’m going to push as hard as I can anyway since I really want to stay at the top of the table,” said the young Finn The lead in the ADAC MX Junior Cup changed hands at the second meeting in Jauer but it’s now Swedish rider Max Palsson (14 who squared up to his two Scandinavian opponents in impressive fashion at Jauer and is currently in third place also aims to mix it with the front-runners MSC Mölln is located about 30 kilometres south of Lübeck and will host one of two ADAC MX Masters meetings taking place north of the Elbe river this year The event will also offer a varied programme for both young and old making the circuit an interesting day-out for the whole family The kids can have fun on the ADAC Insurance bouncy castle and ADAC Young Generation Suzuki quad-bike parcours while the ‘grown-ups’ can savour the delights of the many fan stands and food stalls at the track an autograph-signing session will be held on Sunday from 12.15 to 12.45 pm at the

Enduro – off-road magazine since 1971 Leatt Corporation and Mefo Sport with its partners Acerbis and Mefo Mousse The past barrels into the present especially when it’s not given its dues Martina Priessner’s The Moelln Letters dredges into the wellspring of trauma that stemmed from the racist arson attack against a Turkish immigrant-occupied building in the German city of Mölln Victims are still grappling with the shock the agony of a past deprived of much-needed reflection The documentary zeroes in on a particular family of Arslans whose lives were irrevocably shattered by the attack he goes digging into the public framing of how his family was treated after the attack This is a work seeped in tremendous grief and confrontational resilience powered by steely resolve and steady conviction and empathetic as the survivors themselves may have wished for post the attack Decades have passed since the incident but its ashes remain The survivors admit feeling unsafe even now One of Ibrahim’s siblings confesses attempting to dissociate as much as possible from their name and the burden of immediate prejudice rattles off emphasizing many in the city and Germany being present and attendant to the victims and survivors It’s not all dull and gloomy and they aren’t pitted against the whole world but the affected never got to that sense of reaffirmation It was as if their experiences weren’t validated In the most basic response to the ghastly episode It’s just been spectacularly tardy and utterly closed off to a sensitive approach The letters were addressed to the city and the mayor’s office kept them locked up denied empathy and a listening voice when they needed it most The mayor hadn’t even bothered to come and stand beside them register his availability in a time of crushing distress Neither did his office care to bridge them with those who were ready with hearts full of compassion The Moelln Letters sweeps through the decades-long administrative blindness to the victims and initiates dialogue What does the discovery of the letters imply When Ibrahim’s family and survivors of other racist attacks go through them they are struck by the overwhelming tide of national shame and abnegation It’s a critical reminder the entire country didn’t share the sentiments of select hate-fuelled goons We follow Ibrahim as he meets some of those people who’d reached out through the letters that never got to them Ibrahim talks of his mother being overwhelmed by the letter of a kid who’d sent a stone as a sign of support because she didn’t have money No matter the harassment and discrimination Ibrahim’s family had to endure wrenching resisting force to lonely horrors they had found themselves locked in Priessner never shies away from foregrounding Ibrahim’s appeal for a collective of racism’s victims What’s persistent is an absolute rejection of parochialism extending to its delineation of victimhood and the fate of the wronged The world can’t surrender to hate and exclusion Ibrahim acknowledges there may be profound differences in the experiences of Jews and Muslims they can still rally together for their most fundamental rights Extraordinary strength can be forged from its meeting point It’s never too late to reclaim and remember A devotee of gore and the unsavory but is now drifting to the milder Envious of anyone
