MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- It's a work of art that spans a century of creation and a message timelier than ever. On Sunday evening, the Milwaukee Art Museum will host a screening of a most remarkable film. “The City Without Jews (Die Stadt ohne Juden),” is a 1924 Austrian silent film by Hans Karl Breslauer that presages the events of the Holocaust. Thought to be lost, a copy was discovered in 2015 in excellent condition in a flea market in Paris.
Now the film is to be presented with an all-new score from Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth commissioned by Milwaukee's Present Music.
On CBS 58 Sunday Morning Michael Schlesinger shared more behind the meaning behind this new work.
