“Flawless” features a trio of high
school outcasts in Jerusalem who
remake themselves while prepping
for prom night. Together, the three
go to dangerous extremes to bankroll
the cosmetic surgeries they believe
"Love in Suspenders" will screen from 7 p.m. Aug. 31 until 7
p.m. on Sept. 2 with David and Rabbi Sheldon Zimmerman
sharing conversation via Zoom at 7 p.m. on Sept. 3.
Based on the bestselling novel
of the same name, “When Hitler
Stole Pink Rabbit” is a touching
perspective on the experience of
German Jews who fled the country
before the war. In 1933, 9-year-old
Anna is unaware of Hitler’s rise to
power until her father goes missing
from their home in Berlin. Moving
with her mother and brother
to Switzerland, then Paris, then
London, Anna experiences family
disruption and dislocation while
assimilating into a new life.
“This him walks us through as
Anna bids farewell to her home, her
toys, her furniture and what it means
as a child, to fit your clothes and
choose one toy to go in a suitcase.
It’s about a family and the choices
that have to be made,” Roemer
said. Roemer, a native of Hamburg,
Germany, said he read the book as
a child and has experienced it anew
through the him. He recommends
reading before viewing the hlem.
“As we see a young child wonder,
heartbreakingly, if her stuffed
animal will be OK, the plight of
refugees, and the loss of status and
position, is clear,” he said.

“The Keeper” is the true story of
Bert Trautmann, a German soldier
and prisoner of war who, against a
backdrop of British postwar protest
and prejudice, secures the position of
goalkeeper at Manchester City, and
in doing so becomes a soccer icon.
“This story, about so much more
than sports, is about understanding
your enemy, trying to become
accepted by that enemy and then
trying to reach an incredible goal
together,” said David Zimmerman.
“I’m excited to share this with my
father because, while I can bring the
sports background and my love of
him,” continued Zimmerman, “he’s
an incredible historian who I know
will bring so much valuable Jewish

The curtains will soon rise
on the 24th annual Jewish Film
Festival of Dallas, with popcorn
and drinks coming from the
safety of viewers’ homes rather
than concession stands.
The virtual festival will
present five films this August and
five more in April, hopefully in
the theater, each with an expert-
led Talk Back session sharing
each film’s subject matter. From
the comfort of home, the festival
hopes to reel in bigger audiences
than ever.

content to the discussion which will
be meaningful, educational and also
challenge us to ask ourselves tough
questions.”
For Rabbi Zimmerman, the him
allows us to question what we can
learn from the Jewish tradition and
can we open our doors and even our
hearts to those who have harmed,
and even tried to destroy us. “Can
they do teshuvah?” he asks. “Can
we accept their teshuvah, can we
accept them without forgetting their
past deeds and can we accept them
without forgiving them?”
This year we have created
an incredible opportunity to be
together, to share in some very
special him experiences and
conversation, despite being apart”
said Rachelle Weiss Crane, Aaron
Family JCC Israel Engagement/
Jewish Living director and
producer of the festival.
The hlms, all provided
with subtitles, will be available
from 7 p.m. Monday to 7 p.m.
Wednesday of each week posted
with the associated Talk Back
Thursday evening at 7 p.m.
