Shtetlers, a film about post-war Jewish towns

In fact, former Forverts editor Boris Sandler grew up in? a town like this. “Shtetlers,” a new documentary that tells the story, will be? screened from January 24-29 at the New York Jewish film festival, which? this year takes place entirely online. The film is in Russian, Ukrainian,? English and Yiddish with English subtitles.? For tickets:? https://virtual.filmlinc.org/film/shtetlers/?utm? |
