Remembrance and Ritual: Reflections on Eva and the Angel of Death, a documentary film co-directed by Jacob Schnitzer, Thomas Yee, and Farid Zarrinabadi, reveals the creative process and artistic intentions behind Density512’s world premiere performance of the Holocaust remembrance opera Eva and the Angel of Death, previously scheduled for April 2020 and postponed by the coronavirus pandemic. The documentary features exclusive discussions with composer Thomas B. Yee, librettist Aiden K. Feltkamp, mezzo-soprano Page Stephens (Eva Mozes Kor), baritone Jawan Cliff-Morris (Dr. Josef Mengele), soprano Julia Taylor (Miriam Mozes and Dorothy), and conductor Jacob Schnitzer, along with recorded excerpts from the opera and archival footage of Holocaust survivor and educator Eva Mozes Kor.
Eva and the Angel of Death, a Holocaust Remembrance opera by composer Thomas B. Yee and librettist Aiden K. Feltkamp, shares the powerful story of Auschwitz survivor Eva Mozes Kor. Eva, along with her twin sister Miriam, survived Dr. Josef Mengele’s medical experiments in Auschwitz. Fifty years after her liberation, Kor returned to Auschwitz to declare her forgiveness. Eva’s story explores the long-lasting psychological impact of trauma, processes of grief, and the potential for healing through forgiveness.
