Greater than 480 Jewish present enterprise professionals have signed a letter denouncing the filmmaker’s speech, through which he decried the “dehumanization” of the October 7 assault on Israel by Hamas.
“We refute our Jewishness being hijacked for the aim of drawing an ethical equivalence between a Nazi regime that sought to exterminate a race of individuals, and an Israeli nation that seeks to avert its personal extermination,” the letter states (learn it in full in full under).
You’ll be able to watch Glazer’s speech here, or learn the transcript under.
Impressed loosely by Martin Amis’ 2014 novel and set outdoors the partitions of Auschwitz in the course of the Holocaust, the UK-produced German-language movie The Zone of Curiosity stars Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller as Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his spouse Hedwig, as they attempt to construct a dream life for his or her household in a home and backyard separated from the Nazi focus and extermination camp by a solely a brief wall. What is occurring on the opposite facet isn’t hinted at.

STATEMENT FROM JEWISH HOLLYWOOD PROFESSIONALS
We’re Jewish creatives, executives and Hollywood professionals.
We refute our Jewishness being hijacked for the aim of drawing an ethical equivalence between a Nazi regime that sought to exterminate a race of individuals, and an Israeli nation that seeks to avert its personal extermination.Each civilian demise in Gaza is tragic. Israel shouldn’t be focusing on civilians. It’s focusing on Hamas. The second Hamas releases the hostages and surrenders, is the second this heartbreaking warfare ends. This has been true because the Hamas assaults of October seventh.
Using phrases like “occupation” to explain an indigenous Jewish individuals defending a homeland that dates again hundreds of years, and has been acknowledged as a state by the United Nations, distorts historical past.
It offers credence to the trendy blood libel that fuels a rising anti-Jewish hatred world wide, in the US, and in Hollywood. The present local weather of rising antisemitism solely underscores the necessity for the Jewish State of Israel, a spot which can all the time take us in, as no state did in the course of the Holocaust depicted in Mr. Glazer’s movie.
Jonathan Glazer: Thanks a lot. I’m going to learn, I’m afraid.
Thanks to the Academy for this honor and to our companions A24 Movies for entry and Polish Movie Institute, to the Stead Museum for his or her belief and steering, to my producers, actors, collaborators.
All our selections had been made to mirror and confront us within the current, to not say look what they did then, however relatively look what we do now.
Our movie reveals the place dehumanization leads at its worst. It’s formed all of our previous and current. Proper now, we stand right here as males who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to battle for thus many harmless individuals.
Whether or not the victims of October — whether or not the victims of October the seventh in Israel or the continued assault on Gaza, all of the victims of this dehumanization, how will we resist? Alexandria, the lady who glows within the movie as she did in life, selected to. I dedicate this to her reminiscence and her resistance. Thanks.
Selection first posted the information on the open letter.
