Wet Dog

Solheil is 16 when his Iranian-Jewish family moves from a peaceful town in Central Germany to a multicultural neighborhood in Berlin. There, he experiences antisemitism for the first time. As a means of self-preservation, he hides his Jewish identity and joins a Muslim gang, rising in the ranks but under constant threat of being found out. Until one day, Soheil’s gang of friends decides to rob the local Jew-lery, as they call it, run by a local Jew.…. A powerful, thought-provoking narrative, based on Arye Sharuz Shalicar’s autobiography, A Wet Dog is Better than a Dry Jew.
