Habermann (Template:Lang-cs) is a 2010 Czech-German-Austrian drama film directed by Juraj Herz. In the story, a German mill owner in the Sudetenland and his family's lives are changed as Europe heats up in 1938. The movie is based on true events and is the first major motion picture to dramatize the expulsion of 3 million Germans from Czechoslovakia.
Production
Juraj Hurz has made this statement in describing his film and his reasons for creating it:
These events happened more than sixty years ago, but their effects can be felt even today. If we want to understand the present, we have to know what happened in the past. The film starts with the expulsion: we know from the start how this story will end - there is no escape. Then we are shown the events that led up to it. The story of Habermann ends after the "expulsion" of the Germans from the Sudetenland area bordering Germany and Czechoslovakia in 1945, and remains today one of the darkest chapters in the relationship between Germans and Czechs. The atrocities perpetrated in the course of the expulsion are a taboo to his date. Many Czechs do not want to be reminded of it, many Germans insist that they have been wronged bitterly at the time and that nobody has ever had to pay for this. There is now a new young generation that wants information about the past.[1]
The script was created on the basis of a book by Josef Urban, based on the fate of the real Hubert Habermann, a miller from Bludov in North Moravia.[2]
