Sunday, February 21, 2021 at 3:00 pm — Discussion of the Documentary Film, “The Nazi Officer’s Wife” led by Shmuel Inbar. We will watch (on our own) a film about the extraordinary story of Edith Hahn. Using old newsreel footage, personal photos, and interviews with Hahn, her daughter, and various acquaintances, the film explores how Hahn, a Jewish student living in Vienna during the Nazi takeover of Austria, survived. Certain to be deported, Hahn chose instead to remove the yellow star from her clothing. She took on a new identity as a young Aryan woman and traveled to Munich, the heart of the Third Reich. There she met a bright and well-spoken Nazi, Werner Vetter. The two started a romance, which eventually led to an unlikely marriage and a child. All the while, Hahn kept up her disguise to all but her husband, even suppressing her own vital personality, and taking on the role of a subservient Aryan housewife. The film is available for FREE on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0mOA1KAZME (1:36 hours). Watch the documentary before 2/21 at 3:00 pm and we will discuss it together.
