As part of DOK.aroundtheclock, we present the documentary A POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES: A TALE OF TWO SIBLINGS in cooperation with the U.S. Consulate General in Munich and the Amerikahaus.

Berlin-born, Washington, D.C.-based filmmaker Aviva Kempner has been making award-winning documentaries about unrecognized Jewish heroes for more than four decades. In A POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES: A TALE OF TWO SIBLINGS she focuses on the story of her mother, Helen Ciesla Covensky, and her uncle, David Chase – siblings who survived the Holocaust separately and were reunited after the war. 

The diplomatic missions of the USA in Germany regularly invite US experts to Germany as part of the ‘U.S. Speaker Program’ to discuss current topics with an interested audience of experts.

A talk with director Aviva Kempner will take place after the screening.
Moderator: Prof. Dr. Kevin Ostoyich (Valparaiso University)

Venue: Amerikahaus, Karolinenplatz 3, 80333 Munich
