Philipp Auerbach:
„Messias“ & Angeklagter
An examination of a colorful personality between documentary and fiction
Philipp Auerbach survived the Shoah and was appointed by the Americans in 1945 as “State Commissioner for Racial, Political, and Religious Persecutees” in Munich.
But why did Auerbach, whose family was now living in New York, want to continue working in the land of the murderers?
Hans Hermann Klare, author of an Auerbach biography, Rachel Salamander, contemporary witness and literary scholar, and Avishai Milstein, author of “Play Auerbach!”, discuss the attitudes and actions of an exceptional personality that have received little recognition to date.
