Synopsis:
"Stones From the Soil" tells the story of a unique school in 1930s Germany where a small group of Jewish teenagers were trained to become the vanguard of a new society. One of those teenagers was the film-maker's father, Rudolph Caplan. The school was called Gross Breesen (pronounced "bray'sen"), and it would eventually save the lives of Rudi and 150 other students. "Stones from the Soil" begins sixty-six years later, when Rudi's son returned to find the farm. At Gross Breesen, the teenagers were protected by both the administrators and their families from the growing anti-Semitism in the country. Their seclusion was shattered, though, in November of 1938, the day after Kristallnacht, when an SS squadron arrived to terrorize and destroy. The film blends traditional interviews with inventive visuals, historical photos with dream-like video, and social commentary with personal discovery. "Stones from the Soil" is a tribute to a father, a reflection on memory, and a preservation of a formerly untold story from the Nazi era.
