DANIEL
130 min. SH-A 1983

Jewish activists in the Old Left became ready targets for the witchhunts of the McCarthy era, and many of those accused as communists (rightly or wrongly) were Jews. Among the most famous casualties of the time were the Rosenbergs, executed as spies in a judgment that has long been the subject of controversy. Daniel fictionalizes the story of the Rosenbergs, intertwining it with the story of their grown children, who are haunted by the legacy of their parents. The daughter (Amanda Plummer) has taken the social activism of her parents to heart in a series of failed causes, while the son (Timothy Hutton) is driven to learn the truth behind his parents' death. A complex and challenging film, Daniel examines the importance of confronting the past, shows the political enviornment of both the Old and the New Left, and quietly indicts American anti-Semitism.

DANIEL'S STORY
14 min. EL-A1993

More than a million Jewish children were murdered at the hands of the Nazis. That tragic fact is difficult enough for adults to assimilate; how can one explain it to children? Daniel's Story, a 14 minute production of the United States Holocaust memorial Museum, tries to personalize the fate of those children and educate youngsters about the events of the time. Daniel, age 10, is a composite of the Jewish children who experienced the war. In a child's voice and language, he recalls the chain of events that took him from his happy middle-class German life, the racial laws that forced him out of school, the yellow star he had to wear, moving to the ghetto, the concentration camps, and losing the people he loved.

DANZIG 1939
30 min.JH-A

In July of 1939, ten crates of ritual objects arrived at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. The objects, many antique and extremely valuable, came from the Great Synagogue of Danzig, Germany, a magnificent temple with 1600 congregants. The sale of the objects, arranged by the League of Nations, enabled the Jews of Danzig to buy passage out of Germany. The artifacts they sold to buy their freedom comprise the only such collection to escape the Holocaust. Many current and former residents of the city are interviewed in "Danzig, 1939." They tell of a liberal, mixed Jewish community made up of native Germans and Russian and Polish refugees. Many of the people interviewed- among them Rabbi Iwan Gruen of the Great Synagogue- remember little anti-Semitism before Hitler. This is one of the unique tales of survival to come out of the Holocaust.

DEAR KITTY
25 min. EL-A 1987

Dear Kitty uses the story of Anne Frank's remarkable diary to teach pre-teens about the Holocaust. The film weaves a brief but thorough history of the Nazi era into the story of the Franks' life in Germany, their flight from the Nazis into Holland, their experiences hiding in an attic during the war, and Anne's eventual death in Bergen-Belsen. Anne's words in her diary, which she called "Kitty", allow young viewers to identify with her feelings of fear, confusion, and hope, and reflect on her fate and that of many other Jewish children who perished in war. Passages in the diary that describe Anne's desire to become a writer and the need she felt to record her experiences for posterity are highlighted.

THE DEVIL IS A GENTLEMAN
12 min. JH-A

Fifteen years after the end of World War II, Lieutenant Colonel Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi chief of Jewish affairs, was abducted by Israeli intelligence agents in Argentina and taken to Jerusalem. From April to December 1961, Eichmann stood trial for his role in administering the "Final Solution to the Jewish Problem". Eichmann was found guilty and executed for crimes against the Jewish people, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The Devil is a Gentleman, a 12 minute segment from the CBS newsmagazine 60 Minutes, reviews Eichmann's career in the Nazi party and subsequent trial in Israel in an attempt to examine the nature of his character. Drawing upon interviews with people who knew Eichmann, including the prosecuting attorney, a former SS colleague, a psychiatrist, and a Holocaust survivor, the program raises fundamental questions about judgment and responsibility.

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
151 min. JH-A 1959

Since the publication of her first diary in 1947 and its translation into dozens of languages, Anne Frank has become a symbol of innocent suffering in the Holocaust, and her story the vehicle through which millions of people have been introduced to this era in history. While hiding with her family and others for two years in a secret attic apartment in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, Anne detailed her thoughts and emotions as an adolescent girl coming of age. A play based on the diary was brought to the stage and became the basis of this film, made in 1959. The Diary of Anne Frank captures Anne's fears, joys, and defiance as the residents of the attic struggle to maintain a semblance of normality in the face of overwhelming odds. The film's Hollywood treatment and upbeat ending have been criticized as inappropriate to the subject and its historical outcome.

A DIFFERENT WORLD: POLAND'S JEWS 1919-1943
55 min. JH-A 1988

By the twentieth century, Jews had been living in Poland for more than one thousand years. They numbered more than three million, roughly 10 percent of the Polish population. Despite cultural and religious tensions, Jews were an integral part of the Polish landscape. A Different World examines Jewish life in Poland during the crucial interwar years. It probes the diversity of Jewish political groups, whose conflicting goals splintered Jewish unity. Through archival footage, the program chronicles the rise of anti-Semitism within the Polish government and attempts to answer the question of why the Poles turned on their countrymen.

DIRTY DANCING
105 min. SH-A 1987

In the early part of this century, New York's Catskill Mountains was home to summer resorts catering to Jewish clientele. Dirty Dancing takes place at a fictional resort where conflicts in class and privilege are played out through the romantic relationship between a naive Jewish girl and her street-wise gentile dancing instructor. Jennifer Grey is "Baby," an idealistic seventeen-year-old vacationing with her family in the Catskills in the summer of 1963. Late one evening Baby walks in on a private dance party and becomes spellbound by the resort's instructor, Johnny (Patrick Swayze). Resenting her at first for her affluence, Johnny slowly learns to appreciate her values, and she in turn learns about life and love.

THE DISPUTATION
65 min. JH-A 1986

For Christianity in the Middle Ages the only impediment to the Second Coming was the refusal of the Jews to accept Christ. "Disputations" were arranged between Christian and Jewish theologians to convince the Jews to convert. One of the most famous of these debates took place before King James of Aragon in Barcelona in 1263 between the monk Pablo Christiani (a converted Jew) and Rabbi Moses ben Nachman (Nachmanidies). The Disputation recreates the extraordinary exchange and the drama surrounding it. Nachmanidies courageously takes advantage of the king's guarantee of free speech to argue his side; King James grapples with his "pagan" soul throughout; and his Queen would as soon see the matter settled by the sword.

DRIVING MISS DAISY
99 min. JH-A 1989

Racial prejudice, tolerance, and friendship are the interwoven themes of Driving Miss Daisy. Winner of the 1989 Academy Award for Best Picture, this film provides an unusual view of bigotry in the deep south through the working relationship of a wealthy Jewish widow and her black chauffeur. In her Oscar-winning role, Jessica Tandy (Miss Daisy), an aging Jewish woman in Atlanta who can no longer drive her car safely hires Hoke (Morgan Freeman) to be her driver. Miss Daisy can barely contain her prejudice. But Hoke is a wise and patient man, and as she ages, Miss Daisy comes to appreciate his capabilities, and understand his quiet suffering as a black man in the deep south. Over the course of 25 years, their relationship deepens as the Civil Rights movement comes to affect them both.

EAST AND WEST
85 min. EL-A 1923

East and West, a silent comedy made in Vienna in 1923, takes a satirical look at some of the stereotypes of the Jewish world shortly after World War I. It is the earliest extant film with Molly Picon, one of the most prominent actresses of Yiddish stage and film. Molly Brown, a young American woman, and her immigrant father, a wealthy businessman, are invited back to his Polish hometown for a family wedding. Molly finds her Old World relatives old-fashioned, while they are shocked by her modern, carefree ways. Molly's rebellious pranks are climaxed by a mock wedding, in which she unintentionally becomes married to a devout yeshiva student. The deed it turns out is not easily undone.

THE EIGHTH DAY
23 min. EL-A 1985

Syrian King Antiochus ruled over Judea from 175 to 163 B.C.E., outlawing all ritual observance in his effort to Hellenize the Jews. In 167 B.C.E. the Maccabees rose to challenge him, attacking from the hills of Judea, where they fled to continue practising their faith. In The Eighth Day, a mother summons a Maccabee physician to circumcise her son. The father, a Hellenized Jew named Micha, forbids the ceremony. It is not only punishable by death, it will mark his child forever, excluding him from the "right" contacts. Micha is amazed when the physician turns out to be one Joseph, distinguished for his mastery of Greek philosophy. Spotted by soldiers, the family hides overnight with the Maccabees. There the two men debate over religious tradition until dawn, when Micha must decide whether or not to bind his son to his people.

ELIE WIESEL: FACING HATE
60 min. JH-A 1991

At fifteen, Elie Wiesel and his family were taken by the Nazis to Auschwitz. On their first night in the death camp, his mother and younger sister were murdered. His father, weakened by starvation died later that year. Yet Wiesel tells Bill Moyers that his reaction to the Holocaust was never to become filled with hate; it was more complex. Hatred is not only destructive but self-destructive, says Wiesel in Facing Hate, an interview that explores the origins and manifestations of hatred. Wiesel, who has organized conferences on the subject, talks about why vengeance was not an adequate response for him, about the differences between anger and hate; and the inadequacy of reconciliation. He and Moyers also explore the heritage of hate; the way the hater dehumanizes the victim; and the question of faith and meaning after Auschwitz.

ENEMIES, A LOVE STORY
121 min. SH-A 1989

Memories pursued Holocaust survivors when they tried to reestablish their lives after World War II. For many who came to America, the vast differences between their new lives and what they had experienced created problems that were difficult to resolve. Enemies, A Love Story, based on a novel by Isaac Bashevis Singer, follows the intertwined affairs of Herman Broder, a writer haunted by nightmares as he tries to settle into his new life in New York. Married to Yadwiga, the Polish woman who saved him, he has a Jewish mistress, fellow survivor Masha. His life and deceptions become even more frenetic as his first wife, Tamara, arrives in New York, also having survived. Ron Silver, Angelica Huston and Lena Olin all give superb performances in this compelling movie.

ESTHER
23 min. EL-A 1993

The story of Esther takes place later in time than any other biblical book and hundreds of miles from the Land of Israel. Which is exactly what makes it so relevant, says the narrator of People of the Book: Esther. In 586 B.C.E. the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed, and the Jews of Judea dispersed. They became aliens in many countries, including Shushan in Persia (now Iran), where the Purim story unfolds. This entertaining video captures the pageantry of the Purim story, yet never neglects its deeper meaning. While the actors bring the intricate plot to life, the narrator puts the events in larger context, exploring the significance of this "tale of masks" for generations.

EUROPA, EUROPA
115 min. SH-A 1991

The story of Solomon Perel is one of the most incredible tales to come out of World War II. A young Jew, Perel was not only able to "pass" for German, but became an honored Nazi soldier during the war. Europa, Europa follows Solomon's life from pre-war Germany to Lodz, Poland, and then to a Soviet orphanage. His Russian-language skills, quick wits and "Aryan" looks keep Solomon alive after the Germans capture him. He improbably becomes a valued German asset- as long as he can hide his Jewishness. The nerve-wracking charade carries Solomon to an elite Hitler Youth school in Berlin, where he must mouth the Nazi line and remain silent in the face of anti-Semitism. The anxiety mounts when he romances a Jew-hating woman. Europa, Europa depicts Solomon's desperate bid for survival as the Red Army closes in.

EXODUS
207 min. JH-A 1960

Based on Leon Uris's bestselling novel, Exodus is the epic story of the birth of Israel. This powerful film stars Paul Newman as freedom fighter Ari Ben Canaan and Eva Marie Saint as Kitty Freemont, an American nurse who joins Canaan's fight for a Jewish state. Disconsolate over her husband's recent death in Palestine, the apathetic Kitty meets Ari aboard the steamer Exodus and finds refugees from war-torn Europe. As warring factions clash over the sacred land, and violence explodes following the birth of Israel, Fremont's nursing skills become invaluable. Unsure first about her role, Ben Canaan's passion and her own experiences eventually convince her to put her personal life aside for a greater cause.

FICTITIOUS MARRIAGE
90 min. SH-A 1988

In contemporary Israel, Arab and Jew often play familiar roles, each viewing the other through the prism of political and cultural stereotypes. But what happens when an Israeli breaks through these barriers and he is mistaken for an Arab laborer? Eldad Natan is a quiet, responsible high-school teacher from Jerusalem, a husband and father of two. As he sets out on a trip to New York, Eldad suffers a mid-life crisis, which leads him to a small hotel in Tel Aviv. There he discards his previous identites as husband, father, Israeli, and Jew. Fictious Marriage, a humorous and gently insightful film, explores the ironies of Israeli life and asks what finally defines us and binds us to one another.

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
180 min. EL-A 1971

The brilliant and poignant musical Fiddler on the Roof astounded audiences and critics when it debuted on Broadway in 1964. This film adaptation, which was nominated for an Academy Award, serves to reaffirm the show's stature as one of the greatest musicals ever written. Based on Sholem Aleichem's stories, this fable takes place in the Russian shtetl of Anatevka. It follows a poor milkman named Tevye, who is loud and tender, strong and sentimental. Together with his wife and three daughters, and neighbors, Tevye struggles to preserve tradition in the face of religious persecution. Yet even as the hostile world encroaches, there is joy in Anatevka. Songs such as "If I Were a Rich Man," "Sunrise, Sunset," and "Tradition" are gems that lift the heart amid tears.

FIEVEL GOES WEST
75 min. K3-A 1991

Steven Spielberg's Jewish immigrant mouse Fievel Mousekewitz travels to the Wild West in this high-spirited animated feature. Fievel and his family have reached America "where the streets are paved with cheese." But New York's slums and evil cats make their new homeland less than paradise. "Go West Young Mouse!" comes the cry, and so the Mousekewitz family boards the train for the frontier. But on the long journey through the desert, Fievel overhears some cats scheming to make mouseburgers out of the new arrivals. Will Fievel be able to save the mice of Green River?

FLIEGEL'S FLIGHT: A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF JEWISH HISTORY
27 min. K3-A 1988

A little Jewish bird named Fliegel takes two bored youngsters on a flight across 4,000 years of Jewish history. Fliegel takes off in Canaan, where it all began with God's promise to Abraham, swoops in on hard times in Egypt, and alights at Mount Sinai to hear the message "at the heart of our lives." From there, he does a quick survey of the high and low points of Jewish life in the diaspora. But even when life was tough, Fliegel points out, the Jews kept learning and evolving. Fliegel's Flight is a compact and intelligent animated summary of Jewish history. In a few pointed remarks, this little bird covers a lot of ground, giving children a way to absorb many events and themes.

THE FORWARD: FROM IMMIGRANTS TO AMERICANS
58 min. JH-A 1989

Between 1880 and 1925, two and a half million Yiddish speaking Jews immigrated to America, leading to a flourishing Yiddish publishing industry. The Forward, founded in 1897 by Abraham Cahan, was the most famous and influential of the Yiddish newspapers. It served as a guide totransition, helping Yiddish speakers assimilate into the American mainstream by covering a vast range of topics, from citizenship to canning fruit. The Forward strongly supported labor unions, socialist candidates, and FDR. It published translations of classics such as Madame Bovary and the works of giants of Yiddish literature, including Isaac Bashevis Singer. The film follows the paper up to 1987, when it became a weekly.

FREE VOICE OF LABOR: THE JEWISH ANARCHISTS
50 min. JH-A 1980

Anarchism, which rejected government in all forms, was the largest radical movement among Jewish immigrants in the 1880's and 1890's and continued to attract fervent supporters in the later decades of this century. In 1977, as the Jewish anarchist newspaper Freie Arbeiter Stimme was about to close down after 87 years of publication, the filmmakers interviewed elderly anarchists about their experiences in the movement. They talked about the conditions that led them to join, their fight to build trade unions, differences with the Communists, attitudes toward violence, Yiddish culture, and loyalty to one another. Free Voice of Labor: The Jewish Anarchists introduces us to the authentic voices of an era gone by.

THE FRISCO KID
119 min. JH-A 1979

History has often overlooked Jewish pioneers who helped settle the American West. Hollywood, in particular, has helped perpetuate the myth that western colonization was the exclusive domain of gentile society. But Jews and other minorities were indeed present during the early years. One example is San Francisco's Temple Emanu El, founded during the Gold Rush. The Frisco Kid stars Gene Wilder as Polish Rabbi Avram Belinski, a pious and trusting man who is headed for San Francisco where he will assume leadership of a congregation. With the aid of a softhearted outlaw played by Harrison Ford, Belinski works his way west from Pennsylvania. Along the way Belinski's Orthodox values make a lasting impression on Indians andfrontiersmen, and create outrageous predicaments for the duo in untamed society.

FUNNY GIRL
165 min. JH-A 1968

Ziegfield Follies star Fanny Brice was the quintessential urban Jewish performer- comically resilient with a blunt charm that could win over audiences. Who better to play Brice in the film biography of her life than Barbra Streisand? In this musical film, Streisand fills up the screen with Jewish bravado. Funny Girl traces Brice's rise out of the Lower East Side into stardom. When Brice meets gambler Nicky Arnstein (Omar Shariff), their torrid love affair and subsequent marriage is the stuff of headlines. From the beginning, theirs is a stormy relationship. Still, Brice never loses sight of her Jewish roots and pride. Singing such outstanding songs as "People," "Don't Rain on My Parade," and "My Man," Streisand's performance garnered her the Academy Award for Best Actress.

GENGHIS COHN
100 min. SH-A 1994

The cool efficiency with which Germany assimilated war criminals back into mainstream society is the basis for this unsettling, dark comedy. Genghis Cohn is a two-bit Jewish comedian in pre-war Europe who will say anything about the Germans to get a laugh. But his act literally dies at Dachau when the camp commandant orders his execution. Nineteen years later the commandant is the police commissioner of a small Bavarian village and Genghis Cohn has returned to haunt him. As a murder mystery unfolds in the village, Cohn "helps" the commissioner. The investigation becomes an interrogation of the mind, bringing about maddening questions of motives and guilt.

GENOCIDE 1941-45
52 min. JH-A 1975

Nazi racial theory, an ideaology that captivated millions of Germans in the 1920s and 30s, was translated into concrete policies by Heinrich Himmler, who created the SS. Once the Nazis came to power, the concept of an Aryan "master race" was taught in classrooms throughout Germany. The doctrine was implemented in anti-Jewish laws and actions and, ultimately, the Final Solution, in which the Jewish population of Nazi-occupied Europe was systematically deported and murdered. This program, narrated by Laurence Olivier, traces the role of the demonization of the Jews in the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust. Using archival footage, much of it was shot by the Nazis, as well as testimony from the Eichmann trial, the film follows the systemized anti-Semitism of the Nazis from its formation to the end of the war. In grim, graphic images and straightforward narration, it sets out the events that define its topic.

GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT
118 min. JH-A 1947

Jewish executives from MGM and Warner Brothers urged non-Jewish producer Daryl Zanuck not to make Gentleman's Agreement. They felt the film's taboo subject, Anti-Semitism, would expose them all to backlash, and become a black mark on Zanuck's career. But Zanuck's daring proved them wrong, as Gentleman's Agreement won three Academy Awards in 1947, including Best Picture. Gregory peck stars as Phil Green, a gentile who writes a magazine story about anti-Semitism in America. To feel first-hand the discrimination suffered by Jewish-Americans, Green poses as a Jew. As he researches his story, he becomes increasingly angered by the insidious snubs he receives in his everyday life. In the process he comes into conflict with his fiancee and her social set, as they adhere to the "gentleman's agreement"- the exclusion of Jews.

GET THEE OUT!
90 min. SH-A 1991

Get Thee Out! is based on the stories of the great Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem, who wrote about the shtetl characters in tsarist Russia, and the stories of Isaac Babel, who chronicled Jewish and Ukrainian life in Odessa. The film takes place at a time when political and popular anti-Semitism is endemic- but so is a familiarity and accommodation between Jewish and Christian neighbors. Still, it is not unusual for a drinking partner to join a pogrom. Motl is a successful businessman who has just opened a dairy outside the shtetl. He wants to believe that with "a good head and a pair of hands, everything is possible." After all, his habits and appetites are not so different from those of his neighbors. Indeed, the son of his Christian friend Ivan is courting his daughter. Yet Motl can never feel secure, and this affects the wrenching choice he makes at the end.

GOLDA MEIR: A CBS NEWS REPORT
1978 JH-A

Golda Meir's life was intertwined with the development of the State of Israel, from her involvement as a pioneer during the struggles for statehood, through her rise to lead the country as Prime Minister from 1969-1974. Born in Russia and raised in America, Golda moved to Palestine as a young woman and devoted herself to the creation of a Jewish homeland. Her political style was tenacious, yet she often brought to light the human issues behind the problems facing her country. Walter Cronkite hosts this CBS News Special Report on Golda Meir, which aired in December,1978 after her death at the age of eighty. Photos, news clips and segments from interviews illuminate her personal and professional history. Political leaders and officials including Jimmy Carter, Yitzhak Rabin, Henry Kissinger, and Abba Eban recall her contributions and comment on her career.

GOOD EVENING, MR. WALLENBERG
115 min. JH-A 1990

Raoul Wallenberg, an attache to the Swedish Embassy, was sent at the initiative of Swedish Jewish businessmen on a rescue mission of Hungarian Jews. He distributed Swedish papers ("Wallenberg Passports"), protected Jews in "Wallenberg Houses", internationalized the ghetto to give the 33,000 Jews within it more protections, and saved thousands of Jews from deportation. On January 17, 1945, Wallenberg was taken to Moscow as a Soviet prisoner. He was never released, and his fate has remained a mystery. Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg, a Swedish feature film, chronicles the last days of the war in Budapest. The Soviet noose is tightening around the city, yet the unrelenting mass murder of Jews continues. In this almost surreal atmosphere, where only the victims seem sane, Wallenberg fights tirelessly to save as many as he can- and to preserve a semblance of humanity amidst the nihilistic horror.

GOODBYE, COLUMBUS
105 min. SH-A 1969

Based on a novella by Philip Roth, Goodbye, Columbus is a biting look at upwardly mobile Jewish life in the suburbs. At the time of its release, some Jewish groups were offended by the film's blunt portrait of materialism. Many insisted Roth had exposed an unseemly, and unspoken side of American Jewish life. Richard Benjamin stars as Bronx librarian Neil Klugman, a discontented soul of the 1960's who falls in love with Westchester princess Brenda Patimkin, played by Ali MCGraw. After meeting Brenda at her country club, Neil ingratiates himself with her family. But the crass materialism he encounters at the Patimkins' repulses him. At the same time, his snobby dismissal of his own modest background leaves him ambivalent about where he fits in.

THE GREAT DICTATOR
126 min. JH-A 1940

In 1940, America was ambivalent about intervening in the conflict in Europe. Despite reports of German mistreatment of Jews, many Americans still believed Hitler could be appeased. But as the isolationist streak prevailed within the U.S., Charlie Chaplin chose to speak out against Nazism in the best way he knew- through brilliant parody. In the Great Dictator, Chaplin plays both a humble Jewish barber and the egomaniacal Adenoid Hynkel of Tomania. As the anti-Jewish climate worsens, the barber finds himself an unlikely hero to his compatriots, who have been resisting deportation to a concentration camp. When the barber is finally sent away, he escapes and is mistaken for Hynkel. In the shoes of the mad leader, Chaplin ends his film with an impassioned plea for tolerance.
