- Summary
- "[This film] looks back at the all but vanished Jewish way of life that existed in eastern Europe before World War II. Through never before seen archival films, vintage photographs, traditional cantorial and Klezmer music, and personal recollections, once-vibrant cities and small towns (shtetls) come alive again."--Container. Narrated by Elliot Gould, the film explores everything from the fascinating language of Yiddish to the style of dress and more.
