Chaja & Mimi is a 2009 documentary short film by producer/director Eric Esser from Berlin, Germany. The work consists primarily of an interview with two Jewish Israelis, Chaja Florentin and Mimi Frons, about their ambivalent relationship to the city of their birth, Berlin. The first version of the film was completed and released in 2009 in Germany only; a second version of the film, fully revised for the international film market, was completed and released in 2013.

Synopsis

The Jewish protagonists in this documentary, so-called Yekkes, share memories of their childhood days in the Scheunenviertel and Berlin-Mitte, as they were growing up in the 1920s. They tell about their harrowing flight from Nazi Germany to Palestine in 1934. Chaja Florentin relates her experience of a subsequent return to postwar Germany to visit Berlin, which was very painful encounter for her. The emotional pinnacle of the film is reached with the joy and excitement that both women express when they are shown old historical photographs of the neighborhood streets where they grew up. To the final question in this filmed interview, of whether either woman would consider returning to Berlin for good, both answer with an emphatic no, stating on no uncertain terms that Israel is their home now. They express displeasure at many things in Israel, but they say that it is like a difficult child—one that cries all of the time, but one that you love unconditionally.

On February 22, 1882, the S.S. Illinois docked at the foot of Federal Street on the Delaware River in South Philadelphia. Among the passengers on board were 225 European Jewish refugees, most of whom settled nearby. By the close of World War I, a little over 40 years later, South Philadelphia was home to over 100,000 Jewish immigrants, making it the second largest Jewish neighborhood in the United States. However, the thriving community didn't last long. Soon after World War II, the Jews began moving to other parts of the city and surrounding suburbs. By the beginning of the 21st century, the Jewish community of South Philadelphia had almost completely vanished.

It also features interviews with Concordia's Hillel president Yoni Petel and Concordia rector Frederick Lowy, and concludes with a discussion of what it sees as the growing trend of anti-Israel activities on North American campuses.

Pourquoi Israël (sans point d'interrogation) n'a pas de synopsis classique, ne raconte pas d'histoire, mais tente d’appréhender l'histoire d'Israël, vingt-cinq ans après la création de son État, au travers d'une succession d'images du pays et d'interviews de ses habitants. Tourné en 1972, le film, qui dure trois heures vingt, est présenté au 11e Film Festival de New York le 7 octobre 1973, soit le lendemain du déclenchement de la Guerre du Kippour.
