A Yiddish WorId Remembered looks back at the alI but vanished Jewish way of life that existed in Eastern Europe before War World Il. Through never before seen archival films, vintage photographs, traditional cantoriaI and Klezmer music, and personaI recoIlections, once vibrant cities and smaIl towns (shtetIs) come alive again. The few remaining eyewitnesses share their compelling stories about life in the poor but close knit communities where rabbis settles disputes, yentas gossiped, boys dedicated themselves to Iearning, and humor pervaded every aspect of life.
The FiIm expIores everything from the fascinating Ianguage of Yiddish, the styIe of dress, and the traditionaI foods to the vibrant culturaI, reIigious and poIitical Iife that in PoIand aIone could support 24 Yiddish Ianguage daiIies. |
