A film screening of a documentary film about
UCI Professor Emerita Ruth Kluger.
Ruth Kluger is the author of "Still Alive: A Holocaust Girlhood
Remembered," an extraordinary memoir which has become a standard
text in many university courses and which has contributed to her
receiving numerous prestigious prizes and awards, including the Prix de
la Shoah, the Thomas Mann Prize, the Goethe Medaille, the Heinrich
Heine Medaille, and the Austrian Danubius Prize. Austrian Filmmaker
and Talk Show host, Renata Schmidtkunz, who is the 2012 recipient of
the Preis der Stadt Wien für Publizistik, spent over three years filming
Kluger in four significant places in her life: Vienna, Irvine, Göttingen,
and Israel. The film premiered in October 2011 in Vienna and was
shown on Austrian television. Since that time, Kluger and Schmidtkunz
have screened it in locations throughout Europe and Israel, conducting
discussions and question and answer sessions. They are now on a tour
of a number of US universities.
