I am a first-generation American son of Jewish Russian immigrants who passed through Ellis Island during early 20th century. I grew up with people similar to interviewees in this film. So watching this was a touching experience. I highly recommend this DVD for folks with backgrounds similar to mine.. It's amazing how these photos and films were preserved.

Excellent DVD. Captures images of a life that was ripped away by war and hatred. It reminds us what we lost and where many of us came from. It is well worth watching even if you have no connection to the Yiddish world and it you do, it should be mandatory. This is what we came from. This is who we are. This is what we might have been were it not for hatred and blind obedience to terrorism and a dictator bent on destroying a people.
This DVD was very informative. Exactly what I was looking for. Better that some other DVDs I've seen.
