    Edition: Reissue of "Tkies Kaf/The Vow / directed by Zygmund Turkow", 1924
    Year of publication: 2007
    Abstract: Few reminders are left of the vibrant Yiddish theatrical world that flourished in Warsaw in the 1920s. This film is one of them. Jewish producers were preeminent in the interwar Polish film industry but, due to the pervasive antisemitism of the early '20s, they shied away from films dealing with Jewish themes. It was not until 1924 that amateurs, Henryk Bojm and Leo Forbert, adapted a Peretz Hirshbein play for the screen. Ambitiously mounted, professionally cast, it was one of the most successful Jewish cinematic efforts undertaken up to that time. In 1933, a group of New York Yiddish actors decided to give the original 1924 gem a new lease on life. They added a narration and several new scenes (those in the tavern) which gave dramatic justification to the narrative form. A precursor to the 1937 classic, The Dybbuk, A Vilna Legend features the same classic tale of frustrated love and destiny and the breaking/fulfillment of vows. A yeshiva student and an orphan girl who are deeply in love face eternal separation even though their parents promised them to each other before birth. Only the prophet Elijah's miraculous intervention allows their parents to fulfill their vow and the couple their love.

    Abstract: Based on the short stories of Anzia Yezierska, the first writer to bring stories of American Jewish women to a mainstream audience, Hungry Hearts focuses on the members of the Levin family who emigrate from Eastern Europe to New York City's Lower East Side. Abraham, the pious father learned in religion but uninterested in business, has difficulty making a living and adjusting to life in America. The daughter Sara scrubs floors in the tenement in order to earn money and "become a somebody." The mother Hannah, a noble matriarch, scrimps and saves to paint her dingy kitchen white only to have her landlord raise the rent because of the improvements. Filmed on location on the Lower East Side, this bittersweet classic captures the hopes and hardships of Jewish immigrants in the New World.

    Abstract: This rare, newly restored feature was originally advertised as "the first Yiddish talkie from Soviet Russia." The plot centers on Nathan Becker, a Jewish bricklayer who returns to Russia after twenty-eight years in America. After reuniting with his father (played with comic eccentricity by Solomon Mikhoels) Nathan leaves the shtetl to work in the new industrial center of Magnitogorsk. There, he soon finds that the work habits he acquired in America conflict with the Soviet system. While the film's resolution emphasizes the triumph of socialist productivity, the screenplay by Yiddish author Peretz Markish reflects the warmth and humor of the Jewish spirit.

    Abstract: The Wandering Jew tells the story of Arthur Levi (Jacob Ben-Ami), a German-Jewish artist who experiences the new German anti-Semitism when his masterpiece, a portrait of his Polish-born father entitled The Eternal Wanderer is rejected by the Berlin Academy of Art, which also asks his resignation as professor. Later in the film the figure in the painting comes to life and tells Levi the story of the persecution of the Jewish people. The film ends with footage of an anti-Hitler rally at New York City's Madison Square Garden and Levi's resolve to bear onward in the face of adversity. The Wandering Jew is a unique find: the first American feature film to depict the situation of Jews in Nazi Germany, and the only Yiddish-language film of its era to address this subject. The film, which dramatizes the situation of German Jews, was an American-Jewish response to the Nazi regime. It was produced by Jewish American Film Arts at the Atlas Studio on Long Island, NY during the summer of 1933, just months after the Nazi rise to power in Germany. In the wake of the violence of Kristallnacht the film was given a December 1938 re-release under the title Jews in Exile, screening in RKO theaters all over the New York area. The NCJF restoration features new subtitles and represents the most complete version of the film in existence. Darsteller: Jakob Ben-Ami: Prof. Arthur Levi Natalie Browning: Gertrude M.B. Samuylow: Spirit of Arthur's father Ben Adler: Paul von Eisenon Jakob Mestel: Levi family valet Abraham Teitelbaum: Arts reporter William Epstein: Messenger

    Abstract: Auschwitz ist zu einer Chiffre für millionenfachen Mord geworden. In den Todesfabriken der Nationalsozialisten wurde Menschenmord nicht nur im "industriellen" Maßstab geplant, sondern auch mit "industriellen" Mitteln durchgeführt. Auschwitz war eine der Todesfabriken der Nazis, ein Vernichtungslager. Was hier geschah, ist schwer greifbar und nicht begreifbar. Elie Wiesel, Auschwitz-Überlebender und späterer Friedensnobelpreisträger, hat ein Problem, das hieraus folgt, so formuliert: "Wie kann man eine Geschichte erzählen, die man nicht erzählen kann, die man aber erzählen muss?" Ratlosigkeit bleibt nach 60 Jahren auch denen, die sich dem Thema annähern. In der vorliegenden Dokumentation des rbb Fernsehens berichten sechs Überlebende. Sie erzählen vom Leben und Sterben in Auschwitz-Birkenau, von der Entmenschlichung durch die KZ-Wärter und die Zustände im Lager, von Lebenswillen und Todesangst, von Kälte, Hunger und eigener Verrohung. Ihre Erzählungen werden ergänzt durch Reflexionen über das Leben in anderen Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslagern, und durch Reflexionen von Menschen, die ihre Lagererfahrung schriftstellerisch "verarbeitet" haben, von Paul Celan bis Imre Kertesz. Die Dokumentation des rbb Fernsehens basiert auf Berichten von sechs Überlebenden. Sie erzählen vom Leben und Sterben in Auschwitz-Birkenau, von der Entmenschlichung durch die KZ-Wärter und die Zustände, von Lebenswillen und Todesangst, von Kälte, Hunger und eigener Verrohung - vom Auschwitz-Alltag. Die Erzählungen werden ergänzt durch Reflexionen über das Leben in Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslagern - in Auschwitz und anderswo; Reflexionen von Menschen, die ihre Lagererfahrung schriftstellerisch "verarbeitet" haben - von Paul Celan bis Imre Kertesz.

    Abstract: This short gem features Louis "Leibele" Waldman playing three different parts - first an old-world Eastern European, then a German, each auditioning to be the synagogue cantor. Displeased with what they've heard and unable to agree, the synagogue committee is visited by Leibele's agent who offers them a third alternative: a modern an American Chazan, with "pep and jazz," who can do Kol Nidre with a "two-step" and Netaneh Tokef with a "black bottom."

    Keywords: Filmkomödie
    Abstract: This delightful comedy opens as Morris Brown, a New Yorker better acquainted with his checkbook than his prayerbook, returns to Galicia with his very American daughter, Mollie (Molly Picon) for a family wedding. The bride, daughter of his traditionally observant brother, and Mollie, whose exuberant antics fill the film, could not be more different. But Mollie unexpectedly meets her match, an engaging young yeshiva scholar who forsakes tradition and joins the secular world to win her heart. East and West features classic scenes of Molly Picon lifting weights and boxing, teaching young villagers to shimmy and stealing away from services to gorge herself before sundown on Yom Kippur. Underlying these hijinks is veteran filmmaker Goldin's affectionate appreciation of differences, for good-natured comedy shapes his portrayal of worldly Jews encountering traditional shtetl life.

    Abstract: Zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts befindet sich Europa zwischen Revolution und Krieg. Napoleon Bonaparte überquert die Alpen und erobert ein Land nach dem anderen. Nichts bleibt, wie es war. Auch in Preußen nicht. Hier gerät die alte Ständeordnung ins Wanken und politische, wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Reformen sind nicht mehr aufzuhalten. In dieser bewegten Zeit kämpft eine Berliner Jüdin um ihre Chance, ein Leben auf eine Weise zu führen, die ihr bisher versagt blieb. Rahel Levin ist eine Außenseiterin. Sie ist eine unverheiratete Frau, nicht reich, nicht schön, nicht gebildet, aber hochintelligent, einfühlsam und rebellisch. Unmittelbar am Gendarmenmarkt gelegen, wird ihr Salon um 1800 zur wohl angesagtesten Adresse in der preußischen Metropole Berlin. Die Menschen, die sich hier begegnen, denken anders, leben anders und lieben anders. Selbstbestimmt und befreit von Konventionen nehmen sie ihr Leben in die Hand.
