Filming Nazi Germany in Troy

9 days of filming began Tuesday in downtown Troy for a World War II feature film directed by David Nussbaum. Troy and its cobblestone streets and historic brick buildings are locations to emulate buildings set in 1939 Germany and tells the story of a Rabbi who was among the last in Nazi-occupied Berlin. Andrea Cunliffe spoke with the film’s Producers, Elizabeth Wood and Cavid Caplin, about this film, its history, and the film making process.

Due to this content, city officials are warning residents that actors may be dressed in Nazi military uniforms, but that they should not be alarmed.
