The Flat (2011 film)

His grandmother lived in the same apartment for 70 years, ever since she and her husband, Kurt, left Nazi Germany in the 1930s and immigrated to Israel (Mandatory Palestine.)

[4] Goldfinger gradually discovers that his grandparents had a close personal relationship with a high Nazi official, Leopold von Mildenstein, head of the SS Office for Jewish Affairs (prior to Adolf Eichmann).

Mildenstein traveled to Palestine accompanied by the Tuchlers in 1930, and wrote a few sympathetic reports of its Jewish community in the sheer Nazi 'Der Angriff' (founded by Joseph Goebbels).

They filmed the family rummaging through closets, the items with their old-fashioned European flavor that were pulled out one after another – and the dozens of garbage bags that filled up quickly.

And then it happened: Suddenly among the cartons of gloves and shoes, the fox furs and the purses, the books and the boxes with letters – a pile of old German newspapers appeared.

Goldfinger did not imagine that this would be the first clue that would lead him on an emotional journey that would be both upsetting and confusing, and that would reveal a family history that for years had been repressed and hidden.

Goldfinger worked for five years till finishing the film that is being supported by New Israeli Foundation for Cinema and Television, Filmförderungsanstalt [de], Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, Deutscher Filmförderfonds with ARTE, ZDF, SWR, Noga Communications- Channel 8.

This is not only because of its unbelievable subject matter, but because of its meticulous weaving, its artistry of filmmaking and above all because of the complexity of issues that are addressed and the deep emotional impact they have on the viewer.
