Shifting Paths examines the loss and survival of one family through the period of the early Jewish Boycott in 1933 in Frankfurt, Germany seeing the loss of a beloved family owned pharmaceutical company and the need for the family to change paths. It traces how one chamomile product, Kamillosan, banned in 1933, has survived till today with few knowing anything of its history. Arthur Abelmann had a passion for finding solutions to help people feel better. He went from being a chemist apothecary in a prisoner of war camp at the end of WWI to taking over a candy factory in Frankfurt to start making medicinal tablets. His dream of creating something for his son to take over went astray with the rise of Nazism and the banning of all Jewish Products. The film traces that history and how one product is still used today – a healing ointment, Kamillosan – that was being produced at his factory in 1932. The screening will be followed by a talkback with Director and Producer Charles Abelmann.
