A Yiddish World Remembered (2004)

November 14, 2004Documentary1h 0m

Films, photographs and interviews depict Jewish life in the "shtetls" of Eastern Europe.

Overview

Elliott Gould narrates this affectionate look at life in the shtetls of Eastern Europe in the 19th and early 20th centuries. "It's unreal that all this could have just disappeared," says Polish native Mariem Adler Stok, one of the seniors whose memories of this "Yiddish world" give this documentary its life. The hour traces Jewish history in Europe and explores Jews' focus on education, their religious customs, clothing, food, music and theater.
