"Scarlett Johansson Tells Holocaust Survivors’ Stories in Directorial Debut"     (whatever)

""Eleanor the Great" stars June Squibb as a grieving woman who finds herself at a support group for Holocaust survivors — all of whom are played by actual survivors.

Back in 2017, Jewish actress Scarlett Johansson discovered her family’s Holocaust history in “Finding Your Roots.” When her maternal great grandfather, Saul Schlamberg, immigrated to the United States and ended up on Ludlow Street on the Lower East Side, reportedly as a banana salesman, he left behind a brother Moishe in Grojec, Poland. Moishe’s entire family ended up in the Warsaw Ghetto, where three of his children died. Johansson teared up as she faced the harrowing discovery. “I promised myself I wouldn’t cry,” she told host Henry Louis-Gates. “But it’s hard not to.”

Johansson also cried when she first read the script of “Eleanor the Great,” which will be her feature film directorial debut and is premiering at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival this week as part of the Un Certain Regard lineup.

“When I read it, I cried, and that almost never happens,” she told Deadline, saying that another movie that elicited a similar reaction in her was “Jojo Rabbit,” Jewish director Taika Waititi’s Holocaust film. In “Jojo Rabbit” Johansson plays Rosie Betzler, Jojo’s mother, who is very anti-Nazi and who helps shelter a Jewish girl in her home.

Johansson’s upcoming film, too, draws on Holocaust history. In it, June Squibb plays the eponymous Eleanor, unmoored by the death of her best friend and roommate, Bessie, a Holocaust survivor who grew up in Nazi occupied Poland. Eleanor ends up in New York City, living with her daughter and grandchildren, feeling lonely and placeless. She finds solace by attending a local support group for Holocaust survivors, finding the echoes of Bessie’s story in the people around her. The group in the movie is made up of actual survivors; Johansson and her team worked with the USC Shoah Foundation and Congregation Rodeph Sholom in the city to find the right subjects to include in these scenes, whose stories become a focal point of the movie.

Squibb, who is Jewish and recently played a Jewish retiree in the delightful “Thelma,” plays a colorful, sassy Eleanor. In the first preview clip of the film, she has no problems making risqué jokes at the expense of her rude neighbor Clarice, who makes dismissive comments about Eleanor and her two daughters. “Say goodbye to Melvin for me,” Eleanor glibly tells her, referring to the woman’s husband. “We had such a wonderful time the other night. He’s very strong.” It’s such a funny and winning little clip that definitely has us thrilled to meet Eleanor. The character was inspired by the film screenwriter Tory Kamen’s own Jewish grandmother, Elinore, who she shares on Instagram, was “in fact, the greatest.”

When speaking about Johansson, Kamen celebrated the parallels between the two women and their grandmothers. “We had a really natural rapport,” Kamen, for whom this is also the first production of a feature film script she penned, said of Johansson. “Both of us telling stories about our grandmothers who we grew up with, and how much they meant to us, and how it felt like that generation’s stories were slipping through the cracks as they were leaving us.”

In the movie, Eleanor piques the interest of journalism student Nina at the Holocaust survivor meetings, and she ends up caught in a web of untruths as she takes ownership of Bessie’s story. Nina is played by British actress Erin Kellyman. Bessie is played by Israeli actress Rita Zohar, who herself was born in a concentration camp in World War II. Zohar was a legend of the Yiddish theater in Israel before having a prolific career in Hollywood in the 1980s, starring in movies like “Amadeus.” She later returned to Israel, where she starred in iconic and critically acclaimed movies like “Laura Adler’s Last Love Affair” and “Mrs. Moskowitz and the Cats.”

In an interview with Deadline, Johansson opened up about making a movie centered on Holocaust stories and Jewish stories.

“It’s complicated,” she said, “because the film to me very much is a movie about grief, it’s about human connectivity, and it’s also about forgiveness. It’s also about the truth versus reality, and it’s also about who has the right to tell someone else’s story, or do we have the right to tell someone else’s story? There’s a lot in it. Certainly, Jewish identity is a part of that.”

“We don’t have really too many films about what it looks like now, as these survivors are in the final chapter of their life, and what that looks like and what that means. It was an honor to be able to help tell some of these stories,” Kamen said in the same interview.

Stories about the late lives of Holocaust survivors and the ways we struggle to keep their stories alive feel more important to share now than ever before. It’s amazing to have this group of incredible Jewish women creatives doing this work as they helm such a special movie."

GERMAN GENOCIDE: 9-15 Million Germans Killed 1945 – 1953 Post WW2 - [GOOD REPORT]     (whatever)

Scanned images of the text of the cover story published in the September 1989 issue of Saturday Night describes Eisenhower’s barbarism. Here is the truth.

Bacque tells the truth about how Eisenhower murdered thousands of German prisoners of war AFTER the surrender. Many of those starving soldiers and piles of dead bodies you have seen in atrocity photos were NOT Jews, they were Germans.

Don’t argue with me, read the book. General George Patton (who released all his German prisoners) wrote in 1945 that Eisenhower was using “practically Gestapo methods” in torturing and killing German POWs.

Particularly for when you’re already pretty low “body fat” and good regular workouts don’t seem to be working or working fast enough. Ie chicken tends to be good. Sugar bad. Salmon good? Beef bad for weight loss but good for muscle gain? Thanks!

An Idea for a Local Law: Any Cop that Kills Someone is Immediately Permanently Banned From Law Enforcement.     (whatever)

Sort of like an analog to the killing of a farm dog that gets a taste for the chickens and eggs, which must be put down.

Killing a human is a traumatic event, and I recently had a discussion with a veteran of combat with PTSD. The act of killing another person is a trauma in itself, and I learned that there were two extreme groups - the ones that have a taste for killing and the ones that are broken by the act of killing.

In the military, it is hard to get out, as most soldiers are serving for x amount of time, and I heard stories of many who would gladly leave immediately if they could.

This mindset should apply to cops as well. Why does a cop stay at the job after killing another human? The vast majority of zogbots that kill civilians stay on the job, and actually have gotten a taste for taking another man's life. Even with that PTSD of killing a man, the zogbots do their (((counseling))) and then return to duty - voluntarily.

The short story "The Most Dangerous Game" shows the progression in killing, how hunting animals soon becomes boring and the new rush is to go after more intelligent prey.

I now have thoughts about how every zogbot starts their day with thoughts of "I might be able to legally kill someone today" and it really disturbs me.

Forcing a zogbot out of law enforcement permanently after killing someone will have two direct benefits - 1) someone that has experienced taking someone's life will not be able to legally do it again, and 2) the risk of losing their job might make zogbots think a little harder about shooting when it really isn't needed.

The zogbot (((unions))) will obviously never let a law such as this pass, but such a law would be a great benefit for Whites, not so much help for society with the nigger problems though, whose ranks need to be cut down often.

Its also very telling how quiet that dipshit Elon Musk has been on the subject. He's from there so you would think he would chime in and bring awareness to it, yet, nothing but silence. He's a born privileged jew boy who lived in a gated community in South Africa. Obviously. These same news medias cover up the Palestinian holocaust and call the victims "terrorists". It typical jewish behavior for jews to attack someone then cry out in pain and point at the victim and call them the attacker/terrorist.

Never forget how jews romanticized with Nelson Mandela.
