On 16 March 2026, «Hirschfeld – The Unknown Known» by Stina Werenfels & Samir will be released in Swiss cinemas.
The outstanding reputation of the Schauspielhaus Zurich is based on artists exiled during the Nazi era, such as Bertolt Brecht and Therese Giehse. The theatre became a centre of cultural resistance against fascism in Europe. After the war, the theatre established itself with Frisch and Dürrenmatt and modern American authors. What has been forgotten is that this was all thanks to a German Jew: Kurt Hirschfeld.
