Paula Paulinka by Christine Fischer-Defoy and Daniela Schmidt (1994, 63 min). This stunning documentary features two German-Jewish artists; singer Paula Lindberg-Salomon and her step-daughter, painter Charlotte Salomon. During the 1920s and 30s, Paula was a world-famous concert singer in Berlin who worked under Bruno Walter and hobnibbed with Albert Schweitzer. She survived the Holocaust; Charlotte died in Auschwitz. Paula's remarkable story is intercut with images from Life? Or Theatre? Charlotte's paintings of Salomon family life, and follows the singer's return to Germany after fifty years of exile.
