The Book Thief

The Book Thief (Original title)

A real film pro rises to the challenge of difficult roles, too. This applies to Görlitz, particularly to the shootings for the film “The Book Thief“. Huge Nazi bans had to hang around the usually so peaceful Untermarkt, and books were to be burnt there. Other cities had refused the shootings. But Görlitz took up the challenge and handled it successfully. However, many of the extras felt touched with the oppressive atmosphere at the nocturnal burning of the books. But, of course, the books, some of them kept for themselves as a souvenir, will certainly remain in their memories in a positive way.
