Sylvin Rubinstein: The cross-dressing Nazi slayer
Sylvin Rubinstein, a 90-year-old transvestite flamenco dancer, is stamping and clapping his way across theatre stages in Germany to promote a film about his life as a Jewish resistance fighter who killed Nazis in occupied Poland as well as Berlin. The seemingly incredible story of Sylvin Rubinstein, whose hands were as adept at lobbing grenades as they were at clicking castanets, is the subject of an extraordinary documentary drawing a cult following in German art cinemas. Audiences erupt into cheers as Rubinstein dances with ageless grace onto the stage to take his bows.
