Following the screening, conversation with director Édith Jorisch and Israel Museum curator Shlomit Steinberg (in Eng.)
The Heir follows filmmaker Édith Jorisch as she discovers the incredible hidden story of her grandfather, Georges Jorisch. Born to an intellectual Viennese family, Georges grew up surrounded by great works of art, which included masterpieces by Gustav Klimt. In 1938, the paintings were stolen by the Nazis and most of his family members lost their lives. Georges survived the War and immigrated to Montreal. Seventy years later, he sets out to recover the stolen paintings. The result is a touching tribute to the late Georges Jorisch and a fascinating study of Nazi looted art.
