KEEP QUIET – St. Louis Jewish Film Festival – film review

Thursday, June 8 at 1 PM at Plaza Frontenac Cinema

 

– By Cate Marquis –

 

The mind-boggling documentary KEEP QUIET is about a far-right, anti-Semitic Hungarian politician who discovers his own hidden Jewish heritage when it is revealed that his beloved grandmother is an Auschwitz survivor. Faced with this new reality, he decides to embrace his heritage and become an Orthodox Jew. You can’t make this stuff up, is the phrase that springs to mind in this head-twisting true story.

KEEP QUIET not only follows the course of events around far-right politician Csanad Szegedi but illuminates the pervasive and persistent antisemitism still found in Hungary. A British and Hungarian co-production, it is an eye-opening documentary.
