Rezso Kasztner, a Jewish-Hungarian journalist who helped Jews escape Nazi occupied Hungary but later was wrongly accused of collaboration with the Third Reich by an Israeli court — leading to his assassination — is the subject of a biopic by Gaylen Ross of Brooklyn Heights.
The Brooklyn Eagle interviews Ross this week. It notes that she was able to track down and interview Kasztner’s assassin, Ze’v Eckstein, for the film.
Killing Kasztner: The Jew Who Dealt with Nazis, is currently playing at Cinema Village in Manhattan.
