Holocaust Memorial Day: Distant Journey Film / Cinema

holocaust_memorial_day_distant_journey


Alfréd Radok’s visionary film Distant Journey (1949) was one of the first features to address the Holocaust.

Their daughter Hana loses her job as a doctor soon after the Nazis seize power but her marriage to a gentile colleague enables her to remain in town while the rest of her family is deported to the Terezin Ghetto. But reprieve is short and their romance soon turns into a struggle for survival when her husband is arrested and Hana too is deported to Terezin. Using expressionist imagery interspersed with documentary footage, director Alfred Radok presents a highly imaginative and stylistically innovative study of the impact of Nazi oppression on a mixed race couple in the darkening atmosphere of anti-Semitism. The director's novel approach brought the film international acclaim (New York Film Critics prize for Best Foreign Film in 1951), but official suspicion in Czechoslovakia where the film was banned after a very limited release and not seen again for 40 years.
