Director Jeff Krulik explores a momentous brush
with infamy in this offbeat winner of the Best
Documentary award at the recent New York
Underground Film Festival.

Fund

Richard Marowitz, a Jewish G.I., present at the
search of Hitler's Munich apartment in April 1945,
finds a black top hat in the back of an empty
closet. Marowitz flies into a rage, stomping on
the hat and then donning it in imitation of
Chaplin's The Great Dictator—all on the same
day Hitler commits suicide in his bunker. This film
is both absurd and poignant as we follow
Marowitz to a reunion of his division after 55
years. An absolutely true confrontation of "reg-
ular guys" with history that you'll not soon forget!

This is an unimaginable true story. Like Hitler's Hat, but
not like it at all, it is a very different encounter with his-
tory. A special director's selection award film.

Fiercely committed director Charles Guggenheim spent
the last six months of his life finishing this story about
American infantrymen captured during the Battle of
the Bulge. German orders to identify all the Jewish pris-
oners were refused, so 350 Americans who "looked"
Jewish or had Jewish sounding names were taken by
boxcar to Berga (near Buchenwald) where, treated as
Jewish concentration camp inmates, they were over-
worked, beaten and starved. Many died of injuries,
malnutrition and disease. Some went mad. Until now,
this story has remained untold—lost in the trauma of
World War II. Don't miss it!
