Interpreting Jack
Short Documentary Film, 2012
​
Synopsis
INTERPRETING JACK is a personal, self-narrated and self-filmed documentation of my exploration into my deceased grandfather’s life via his diaries and photo albums. He died when I was very young and I never had the chance to get to know him. By unearthing his possessions and artifacts from World War II, I discovered an incredible, humble man who bravely left Holland for America, fought for the US Army in General Patton’s division, served as an interpreter for the U.S in the Nuremberg Trials, and worked for the United Nations.
