Sally (Salomon) Perel, was born in Peine, Germany, in 1925 as the son of an orthodox rabbi. When the Nazis came to power, Salomon eventually ended up in a Soviet orphanage, but when the German Reich invaded Russia he was taken prisoner. The captors began to shoot Jews and Communists. He saved himself from execution with a lie, claiming to be a Volksdeutscher, or ethnic German. He gave himself the name Jupp (Josef) and joined a tank unit as an interpreter, until the unit commandant offered to adopt him after the \u201cfinal victory.\u201d He had no choice but to accept and was sent to an \u00e9lite Hitler Youth school in Germany, where he trained to become a Hitler Youth leader, in constant fear of being discovered as a Jew, and in growing inner conflict. His story became the basis for the award-winning movie \u2018Europa, Europa\u2019.<\/p>\n
The video installation 4 x Sally presents two interviews with Perel in German and two in Hebrew, in both cases once with the Jew and once with Jupp, the Hitler Youth. All four interviews run simultaneously, demonstrating and visualizing Perel\u2019s conflicting personalities and the space in between. The work is part of the project Two Family Archives<\/a> by the Austrian artist Friedemann Derschmidt<\/a> and the Israeli artist Shimon Lev<\/a>, which investigates the feasibility of dialogue between descendants of perpetrators, victims, and followers. Salomon Perel<\/a> is one of the few people to incorporate all three aspects in one person: \u201cI was a perpetrator and victim in one.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n On Tuesday, July 11, 2017, 19:00-20:30, was a Public Performance and discussion with Sally Perel, Friedemann Derschmidt<\/a>, and Shimon Lev<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4 x Sally will be presented<\/p>\n Monday-Thursday July 10-13, 2017<\/p>\n 10:00-19:00<\/p>\n Friday, July 14, 2017<\/p>\n 9:00-14:00<\/p>\n At the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute,<\/p>\n 43 Jabotinsky St., Tel. 02-5605222<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The video installation is presented within the workshop\/conference:<\/p>\n Nationalism in the History of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Mass Violence<\/p>\n at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A synoptic portrait of Sally Perel, the Hitler Youth Salomon At what point can each of us identify with racism and murderous thoughts?
