Proud Jewish Boy

Proud Jewish Boy uncovers a meticulously researched, little-known story of how a teenage Jewish refugee’s shooting of a Nazi diplomat ignited the prewar pogrom widely seen as a prelude to the Holocaust. Through rare archives, family testimony, and striking black-and-white illustrations, this Haifa Film Festival Best Documentary winner charts a high-stakes battle between a defiant teen and the Reich’s most ruthless manipulators.
