Abstract
ABSTRACT:A unique collaboration between West German television journalists and the Israeli journalist Vera Elyashiv led to the production of the documentary film Mit den Augen einer Israeli: Beobachtungen in der Bundesrepublik (1962, Through the Eyes of an Israeli: Observations on the German Federal Republic). I argue that this hitherto neglected film conveys an exceptional image of West Germany toward the end of the Adenauer era that challenges the concept of "the new Germany." This article explores the film in the historical-political context of its production and screening, focusing on Elyashiv's decision to maintain the ambiguity of her biography as a Holocaust survivor while formulating an indictment of contemporary German society and its political leadership.
摘要:西德电视记者与以色列记者维拉·埃利亚希夫(Vera Elyashiv)的一次独特合作，制作了纪录片《Mit den Augen einer israel: Beobachtungen in der Bundesrepublik》(1962，通过以色列人的眼睛:观察德意志联邦共和国)。我认为，这部迄今为止被忽视的电影传达了阿登纳时代末期西德的特殊形象，挑战了“新德国”的概念。本文将在电影制作和放映的历史政治背景下探讨这部电影，重点关注Elyashiv决定保持她作为大屠杀幸存者的传记的模糊性，同时对当代德国社会及其政治领导层提出控诉。
