    Overview

    Collection Summary
    Glenn Kurtz donated home movies documenting the European vacation made by his grandparents and some friends in 1938. In addition to scenes shot in Switzerland, The Netherlands, France, England, and on their return journey on the Queen Mary, the original film shows the Jewish quarter in the David Kurtz's hometown of Nasielsk, Poland, in stunning color and black and white. Highlights include people exiting the local synagogue, street scenes, and family mingling with local townspeople. Only approximately 80 of the 3,000 Jews living in Nasielsk in 1939 survived the war. One reel of 16mm film (14 minutes)
