Film: Image Before My Eyes
When: Sunday, November 12, 2006 Time: 1:30 PM (library opens at 1:00) Where: Cuba Genealogy Center (at the William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum) 1440 Spring St. NW, Atlanta, GA Before World War II, Poland was the largest and most important center of Jewish creativity, scholarship, and culture in the world. Jews had lived in Poland since the twelfth century, and in 1939, Poland's 3.5 million Jews comprised about one-tenth of the population. Image Before My Eyes depicts the full spectrum of Jewish life in Poland- from remote villages and small towns to major cities, >from the traditionallypious to the ardently secular. It shows the great range of Jewish involvement in political and cultural movements such as bundism, Zionism, and anarchism, and in the creation and sustenance of educational and social institutions. Through interviews, photographs, and rare and remarkable film footage, the film pieces together a warm and evocative portrait of Jewish life in Poland between the wars. 90 mins. JGSG, Breman Members: No Charge Non-members: $5 (Please pay at the door.)
