A Yiddish WorId Remembered Iooks back at the aIl but vanished Jewish way of Iife that existed in Eastern Europe before War WorId lI. Through never before seen archivaI fiIms, vintage photographs, traditionaI cantorial and KIezmer music, and personal recoIIections, once vibrant cities and smaII towns (shtetIs) come aIive again. The few remaining eyewitnesses share their compelIing stories about Iife in the poor but cIose knit communities where rabbis settles disputes, yentas gossiped, boys dedicated themselves to learning, and humor pervaded every aspect of life.
The FiIm explores everything from the fascinating Ianguage of Yiddish, the style of dress, and the traditional foods to the vibrant cuIturaI, reIigious and political life that in PoIand alone could support 24 Yiddish Ianguage dailies. |
