Check out ”Tickling Leo,” a new indie film about the complex ties of family and history, at www.ticklingleo.com.
An aging poet lives alone in the Catskills. He’s haunted by his father’s friendship with Rudolf Kastner:
”…the Hungarian Jewish leader, who during the Nazi occupation of Hungary negotiated with Adolf Eichmann for the safe transport to Switzerland of nearly 1,700 handpicked Hungarian Jews. In addition to bribing Eichmann, Kastner agreed not to warn the rest of Hungary’s Jewry that they were not headed for resettlement in the countryside as they had been told but destined for death camps.” – NYTimes.com
