“Don’t go home. The Gestapo are in your apartment. They are waiting for you to come back. Do you have your passport?”

When Clare reclaims her grandad Heinz’s German citizenship, 75 years after it was stolen, she uncovers his wild true story.

But he gave it up – is it really hers to take?

Playfully told with bold visuals and original music, I WAS A GERMAN takes a deep dive through displacement, Britishness, and fighting Fascism, whilst never being able to resist a good party

A vivid account of one Jewish refugee trying to find his way home, and his granddaughter trying to find her roots.
