Jewish anti-fascist film thought destroyed by Nazis restored after 80 years – 1931’s Europa had taken on a mythical status in the film world as an early avant-garde film that was supposedly destroyed by the Nazis. | Israel National News

Europa, a 1931 anti-fascist film made by a Polish Jewish couple that was thought destroyed by the Nazis, has been restored and was shown this week for the first time in 80 years.
The film, shot in Stefan and Franciszka Themerson’s bedroom in Warsaw, was based on Anatol Stern’s 1925 same titled poem, and was a statement about Europe’s increasing descent into violence and chaos.
