TV: The Jewish People: A Story of Survival
By Aliza Kaplan
A new film is available through
Public Television and Two Cats Productions. From slavery to the loss of
a homeland; from exile to anti-Semitism; from pogroms to near
annihilation in the Holocaust, how did the Jews endure while so
many other communities vanished? The Jewish People: A Story
of Survival, an original one-hour film explores these themes
of resilience, fortitude and achievement of the Jewish people,
moving chronologically over four millennia, and the numerous
civilizations – the Babylonians, the Romans, the Muslims, the Spanish, the
Soviets and others – that have ruled over the Jewish people. Featuring Rabbi Brad
Hirschfield, it is hosted by Martha Teichner, Senior
Correspondent for “CBS News/Sunday Morning." Andrew Goldberg is
Executive Producer and Director.
