Description

After the war, charismatic David Bermann recruits fellow Holocaust survivors for a money-making scheme to realize their shared dream of rebuilding their lives in America. Their clever strategy brings in much-needed cash, until David’s secret past begins to catch up with him. This dark comedy is based largely on co-screenwriter Michel Bergmann’s debut novel “The Traveling Salesmen,” inspired by his own family history.

Speakers:

Tuesday, October 30, Professor Michael G. Levine, German Language and Literature Program, Rutgers

Wednesday, November 7, Professor Benjamin Lapp, modern European history and 20th century Germany, Montclair State University.
