CUTTING THE CORD FILM BY Danny Syrkin (In French, German, Yiddish, Hebrew, English subtitles) 52' minutes, Israel-Belgium*Germany. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2006 12:00 Noon PICKFORD THEATER Madison Building, Library of Congress Myriam Fuks, a well-known Yiddish singer, is the child of Holocaust survivors. Her mother lived in the past repeating the tales of her horrors. Last year Myriam was amazed to discover that her mother knew a very different Holocaust. She lived a good life as a Christian in a small German village. The film follows Myriam as she tries to understand her mother's real story, the meaning of the truth, and ultimately reconciliation. It's a film about myths, their use, and abuse. A victim twice - once in Nazi Germany, and again among her own people - this is about the fight for life and the zest to live.
