One of the few places in the history-charged Mitte district in the center of Berlin that is beleaguered neither by the commemoration hype in Germany’s capital nor by the raging parties and nightlife there, is the building at no. 14–16 Auguststrasse. Since Regina Scheer wrote her book Ahawa. Das vergessene Haus (Ahava: The Forgotten House) in 1992, little has changed about the hermetic solitude guarded by a heavy iron gate secured with a camera and intercom. Now Israeli filmmaker Ayelet Bargur has taken on the house, its history, and its former residents. Based on the few extant documents and the few survivors from that time, her film The House on Auguststrasse manages to tell all that can still be told.
