Description:

The documentary portrays Erich Finsches, a Shoah survivor – and true Viennese original. Based on over six years of collected material by director Matthias Jaklitsch, who supported Erich on his travels, the film shows him as a positive, humorous, but also argumentative and unique personality. At 97, Erich continues to tirelessly advocate for remembrance, attending memorial ceremonies and schools to spread his message – "Never Again." Instead of a traditional "eyewitness narrative," the film not only documents Erich's life, his youth during Nazi persecution, and the rebuilding of his new life, but also the relationship between the director and the protagonist.
