The Berlin Diaries
by Andrea Stolowitz
directed by Dámaso Rodríguez
composition and sound design by Rodolfo Ortega
CAST: Miriam Schwartz & Michael Mendelson

Andrea Stolowitz’s great-grandfather kept a journal for his descendants after escaping to New York City in 1939 as a German Jew. Following the complicated lure of genealogy, Stolowitz goes back to Berlin to bring the story of her unknown ancestors out of the archives into the light. The record keeps as many secrets as it shares. How do people become vershollen, lost, like library books?
