CAFÉ ATARA : The Premiere
The CAFE ATARA in the Café Hallmackenreuther in Cologne was a complete success! Many thanks to all guests for coming! All of the screenings were very well attended and the reactions of the visitors were more than positive!
The actors were equally enthusiastic. Thank you for your great commitment!
Thanks also to the many helpers and supporters in the background like Jan Liesefeld with his many videos and photos. And we would also like to take this opportunity to thank our hosts from Café Hallmackenreuther .
Many thanks also to the United World Organisation eV , which has taken over the sponsorship of the project. We would be delighted to continue working with you!
Special thanks go to Joachim Schlör , who traveled all the way from Berlin. Professor Schlör is one of the leading international experts in German-Jewish studies. As part of his work, he rediscovered Sammy Gronemann and published his works for the first time in Germany. It was a particularly beautiful sight to see him in the CAFE ATARA next to his discovery!
And last but not least, a very special thank you to Kane Kampmann and Brian Michaels for bringing the CAFE ATARA back to life and taking us on this extraordinary journey to Jerusalem in the 1930s!
Here are some impressions from the CAFE ATARA:
