On-Site Film Screening: “Refugee Lullaby”
2023-07-16 14:30 | Illinois Holocaust Museum, 9603 Woods Drive, Skokie, IL, 60077, United States
What motivates a man to leave his home, wife, and children on a cold night to help refugees marching towards the border of his country?
In the seemingly peaceful and picturesque Austrian countryside resides Hans Breuer, Austria’s last wandering shepherd. Just hours outside of Breuer’s modest rural cabin, the tranquility is disrupted as thousands of refugees cross his country’s borders seeking asylum. He cannot sleep at night knowing that there are refugees who need help, only a two-hour drive from his home.
Using a private Facebook group, Breuer volunteers his time to help the refugees with everything from collecting food and water to driving them safely across the Hungarian border. He even sings them Yiddish lullabies from his childhood. Breuer’s acts of kindness are not motivated out of charity, but solidarity: his father, a Jewish dissident, escaped Austria before World War II.
Refugee Lullaby follows Breuer as he dedicates his life to helping refugees throughout Europe, and how other ordinary citizens step up to assist refugees. At its heart, it is a film about human compassion, its origins, and its boundaries, connecting Jewish history with current reality.
