    (Video Rated 3 Stars)
    Artist:
    Description:
    Amit Deutsch recently graduated from Berkeley with a degree in psychology. His interest in the mind and the effects of group mentalities began in high school when he started interviewing Holocaust survivors and publishing their stories. His talk focuses on the roles that narratives play in perpetuating both group and interpersonal conflicts and how individuals can come to see the difference between people as they appear in our narratives and people as they really are. ------------------- TEDxBerkeley 2010 - Doing the Unprecedented - took place on Saturday, April 3rd, 2010 at UC Berkeley.

    "Freedom Riders" Trailer
    (Video Rated 3 Stars)
    Artist:
    Description:
    "Freedom Riders" comes to AMERICAN EXPERIENCE in May of 2011 In 1961, segregation seemed to have an overwhelming grip on American society. Many states violently enforced the policy, while the federal government, under the Kennedy administration, remained indifferent, preoccupied with matters abroad. That is, until an integrated band of college students—many of whom were the first in their families to attend a university—decided, en masse, to risk everything and buy a ticket on a Greyhound bus bound for the Deep South. They called themselves the Freedom Riders, and they managed to bring the president and the entire American public face to face with the challenge of correcting civil-rights inequities that plagued the nation. Veteran filmmaker Stanley Nelson's inspirational documentary is the first feature-length film about this courageous band of civil-rights activists. Gaining impressive access to influential figures on both sides of the issue, Nelson chronicles a chapter of American history that stands as an astonishing testament to the accomplishment of youth and what can result from the incredible combination of personal conviction and the courage to organize against all odds.

Clearly, this is not just any trip. The group will ride from Nashville, Tenn., to Montgomery and Birmingham, Ala., retracing the Freedom Rides of 1961, which were part of the movement that led to the end of segregation in the South. What's more, several of the original Freedom Riders will join the group to share their experiences first-hand along the way. (2007 Emmy Advanced Media Documentary)

    Triumph des Willens (Full movie - English subbed)
    (Video Rated 3 Stars)
    Artist:
    Description:
    Visit: http://worldwar2propaganda.info for more World War II movies and music. The full movie of Trimpuh des Willens. Text from Wikipedia: The film begins with a prologue, the only commentary in the film. On a stone wall, the following text appears: On September 5, 1934, ... 20 years after the outbreak of the World War ... 16 years after the beginning of our suffering ... 19 months after the beginning of the German renaissance ... Adolf Hitler flew again to Nuremberg to review the columns of his faithful followers... 'Day 1': The film opens with shots of the clouds above the city, and then moves through the clouds to float above the assembling masses below, with the intention of portraying beauty and majesty of the scene. The shadow of Hitler's plane is visible as it passes over the tiny figures marching below[3], accompanied by music from Richard Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, which slowly turns into the Horst-Wessel-Lied. Upon arriving at the Nuremberg airport, Hitler emerges from his plane to thunderous applause and a cheering crowd. He is then driven into Nuremberg, through equally enthusiastic people, to his hotel where a night rally is later held. 'Day 2': The second day begins with a montage of the attendees getting ready for the opening of the Reich Party Congress, and then footage of the top Nazi officials arriving at the Luitpold Arena. The film then cuts to the opening ceremony, where Rudolf Hess announces the start of the Congress. The camera then introduces much of the Nazi hierarchy and covers their opening speeches, including Joseph Goebbels, Alfred Rosenberg, Hans Frank, Fritz Todt, Robert Ley, and Julius Streicher. Then the film cuts to an outdoor rally for the Reichsarbeitsdienst (Labor Service), which is primarily a series of pseudo-military drills by men carrying shovels. This is also where Hitler gives his first speech on the merits of the Labor Service and praising them for their work in rebuilding Germany. The day then ends with a torchlight SA parade. 'Day 3': The third day starts with a Hitler Youth rally on the parade ground. Again the camera covers the Nazi dignitaries arriving and the introduction of Hitler by Baldur von Schirach. Hitler then addresses the Youth, describing in militaristic terms how they must harden themselves and prepare for sacrifice. Everyone present then assembles for a military pass and review, featuring Wehrmacht cavalry and various armored vehicles. That night Hitler delivers another speech to low-ranking party officials by torchlight, commemorating the first year since the Nazis took power and declaring that the party and state are one entity. 'Day 4': The fourth day is the climax of the film, where the most memorable of the imagery is presented. As the soundtrack plays themes from Wagner's Götterdämmerung, Hitler, flanked by Heinrich Himmler and Viktor Lutze, walks through a long wide expanse with over 150,000 SA and SS troops standing at attention, to lay a wreath at a World War I Memorial. Hitler then reviews the parading SA and SS men, following which Hitler and Lutze deliver a speech where they discuss the Night of the Long Knives purge of the SA several months prior. Lutze reaffirms the SA's loyalty to the regime, and Hitler absolves the SA of any crimes committed by Ernst Röhm. New party flags are consecrated by touching them to the "blood banner" (the same cloth flag said to have been carried by the fallen Nazis during the Beer Hall Putsch) and, following a final parade in front of the Nuremberg Frauenkirche, Hitler delivers his closing speech. In it he reaffirms the primacy of the Nazi Party in Germany, declaring, "All loyal Germans will become National Socialists. Only the best National Socialists are party comrades!" Hess then leads the assembled crowd in a final Sieg Heil salute for Hitler, marking the close of the party congress. The film fades to black as the entire crowd sings the "Horst-Wessel-Lied". A must see for any educator dealing with Holocaust education.

    Blessed Is the Match Film Trailer
    (Video Rated 3 Stars)
    Artist:
    Description:
    Blessed Is the Match is the first documentary feature about Hannah Senesh, the World War II-era poet and diarist who became a paratrooper, resistance fighter and modern-day Joan of Arc. Safe in Palestine in 1944, she joined a mission to rescue Jews in her native Hungary. Shockingly, it was the only outside rescue mission for Jews during the Holocaust. Hannah parachuted behind enemy lines, was captured, tortured and ultimately executed by the Nazis. Her mother Catherine witnessed the entire ordeal - first as a prisoner with Hannah and later as her advocate, braving the bombed-out streets of Budapest in a desperate attempt to save Hannah. With unprecedented access to the Senesh family archive, this powerful story unfolds through the writings and photographs of Hannah and Catherine Senesh. www.blessedisthematch.com

    Jewish War Heroes of the British Armed Forces (Part 1)
    (Video Rated 3 Stars)
    Artist:
    Description:
    This 30 minute film was commissioned out of respect for the tremendous numbers of British Jews who fought and fell for King and Country. Our story begins with battles against the French in 1759, followed by Trafalgar and Waterloo. 55,000 British Jews fought in World War 1. We recount their courage with rarely seen archive film. In World War 2, British Jews fought in disproportionate numbers to their small population: 60,000 of the country's 360,000 Jewish citizens. That's one sixth of all British Jews. This film captures the living testimonies of ex-servicemen and women. These extraordinary people undertook audacious missions whether on the front lines, flying hazardous bombing runs, dodging U-boats or behind enemy lines. Many gave their lives for British values. Our production shows the atrocities of the Holocaust and the British liberation of Belsen-Bergen Death Camp. After the war, British Jews returning from duty were appalled to see Moseley's blackshirts in Britain; and it was British Jews who campaigned to end the threat of fascism once and for all. During National Service and as regular officers, British Jews have fought and fallen alongside their British countrymen: from Cyprus and Korea to the Falklands, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq.

    Escape from Sobibor (1987)
    (Video Rated 3 Stars)
    Artist:
    Description:
    During WWII, the death camp at Treblinka had an escape, causing the Commandant at a similar camp in Sobibor to vow (actually threaten) that his camp would never experience the same thing. But those who were its captives, the Jewish laborers that had been spared from the ovens, knew that they were on borrowed time and that their only hope was to escape... the only question was how to do it. However, because the Germans would kill an equal number of others whenever a group attempted to escape, the captives knew that if ever an escape was tried, all 600 prisoners in the camp would have to be included... logistically precluding any ideas about tunnels or sneak breakouts. Indeed, to have such a mass escape could only mean that the Ukrainian guards and Germain officers would have to be killed, which many of the Jews felt simply reduced themselves to no better than their captors... thus making it a struggle of conscience. And therein lies the story, with the film being based on a factual account of what then happened at that Sobibor prison.

    Child Holocaust survivor describes escape from mass execution
    (Video Rated 3 Stars)
    Artist: Yad V'Shem
    Description:
    Solomon (Sjema) Feigerson was born in 1930 in Liepaja, Latvia, the middle of three sons. His older brother Hanoch was killed in June 1941, in defense of the town against the Germans. His father, Yaakov, was murdered in July 1941, and his mother and younger brother Josef were murdered at the Skede execution grounds in February 1942. Solomon escaped that and another murder operation in April by running away, despite being shot by Latvian guards. In July 1942, the Jews of Liepaja were herded into a ghetto. Solomon lived in one room with 20 other orphaned boys. On Yom Kippur (October) 1943, the ghetto was liquidated and Solomon was deported to the Kaiserwald labor camp. There he met and bonded with Lina Goldblatt, a prisoner from Hamburg, and her daughter, Rosa. She was like a mother to me, he recalls, she even sewed me a shirt and a pair of pants. In August 1944 Solomon was transferred to the Stutthof concentration camp, and in April 1945 he was put on one of four ships carrying 500 inmates, sent into the Baltic Sea to die. Solomons ship eventually sailed into Neustadt on 3 May 1945. German sailors on the shore shot at the survivors. A British soldier found him, exhausted and ill, clutching a loaf of bread. After the war, Solomon went to Riga. He studied engineering and started a family. While in Riga, he campaigned with Holocaust survivors and others to emigrate to Israel. He arrived in Israel in 1971 where he worked as an engineer and volunteered with a number of organizations commemorating the Holocaust and assisting survivors. He also published a book about the destruction of the Jewish community of Liepaja. Solomon and his wife Ethel have a son and two grandchildren.

    Jewish life in Kovno, Riga and Lwów, 1939
    (Video Rated 3 Stars)
    Artist:
    Description:
    A documentary movie: Jewish Life in Kovno (Lithuania), Riga (Latvija) and Lwów (Poland) in 1939 NOTE: This documentary movie was made by anonymous author, who shortly before outbreak of the Second World War, so in early spring 1939 (we can see it from the weather and the way people are dressed) travelled probably as a tourist, from the capital of Lithuania (Kovno) and via Latvija (its capital, Riga) down to south-east Poland (Lwow, then belonging to Poland; now in Ukraine). It's a real gem, rarest of the rarest - the last portrait of the East European Slavonic-Jewish world, that in pass of a few months later, was annihilated by the Teutonic aggression on Poland, in September 1939. In my estimation first 3 minutes are: Kovno (Lithuania) and Riga (Latvija) . Poland (Lwow) begins around 4:50. I am guessing only by the view of people's outfits, street signs and posters. The music background are: 1.Belle Baker, Bei mir bist du schoen (1937) followed by 2.: Bublitschki, played by Ziggy Elman Band (1938) 3. Tango „Bajka" (A Fairytale) (Music Izaac Kranz, aka Igo Kranowski) played by Wiktor Tychowski's Band (1932; also available in You Tube, sung by Mieczysław Fogg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vatjGxhZqqo) 4.

    Jewish LIfe in Cracow (disctrict of Kazimierz) in ca 1938/39 NOTE: This is a documentary film (a set of the mini-clips) was taken ca 1939 by some uncredited visitor to Kazimierz - being the part of prewar Cracow, mostly inhabited by traditional Jewish community. After German aggression on Poland in September 1939 that colourful, busy and lively district of the city was turned into a nazi-controlled ghetto and finally - its inhabitants, murdered in situ or transported to death camps. In recent years, the Kazimierz area is being reconstructed and recultivated and is slowly coming back to life, again with quite a few Jewish inhabitants who decide to settle down or to open their business in Cracow - that thru hundreds of years was considered one of the most important centres of Jewish culture in Europe. Every year, in the turn of June/July the famous Festival of the Jewish Culture takes place in the streets, galleries and squares of Kazimierz, featuring klezmer music concerts, international panels, lectures, exhibitions, plays etc. Music: Abe Schwartz's Orchestra - Yosl, Yosl, Columbia ca 1925

    Jewish Documentary - Full Film
    (Video Rated 3 Stars)
    Artist:
    Description:
    http://JewishHistory.org Faith and Fate is a documentary telling the story of the Jews in the 20th Century. The first Episode is called, "The Dawn of the Century" and covers 1900 - 1910. This episode introduces the uniqueness of Jewish history in the 20th century within the context of world history. At the turn of the 20th century, Jews were scattered across the globe, representing only ¼ of one percent of the worlds population. It was a time of empires, imperial rule and colonial expansionism. In Russia the masses, including the Jews, lived in dire poverty which was compounded by grassroots antisemitism. In 1905 the Russian masses revolted and there was a general strike. On Bloody Sunday the Czar responded with force. The Czar did not abdicate until 1917, which is typically the date given for the second Russian Revolution, which, in turn, led to increased pogroms against the Jews. The pogroms and the economic conditions forced approximately 40% of Jewish population to leave the Russian Empire and go to Western countries including the United States and to Palestine and other countries as far away as South Africa and Australia. Emigration and the Enlightenment presented Jews with the dilemma and opportunity to maintain or reject their traditional Jewish upbringing, and many decided to forgo their traditional Judaism and blend in with their larger non-Jewish society. Within the traditional Jewish world, change was occurring as well, with the rise and acceptance of the Mussar Movement, an ethical approach to Judaism. Because Jews were not allowed into institutions of higher education in Eastern Europe, most of them went to study in yeshivas to sharpen their intellect. The traditional yeshiva, unintentionally, became a breeding ground for all philosophies, Jewish and secular alike. Zionism grew as a national movement, and was led by secular Jews antithetical to traditional Judaism. While most rabbis rejected Zionism and its leaders, because of their nontraditional beliefs, a minority of rabbis developed religious Zionism, which combined traditional Judaism with Zionist philosophy. The Old Yishuv Jews, who had settled in Palestine in the late 1800s, were committed to traditional Judaism and rejected secular, nationalistic ideas of the New Yishuv Zionists. The Sephardic Jews living in Moslem and Arab countries at the turn of the 20th Century maintained their own rich Jewish traditions and heritage, which often differed from those of the Ashkenazim. There was relative peace within the Jewish community and among the leadership in these Arab and Moslem countries, and although life was sometimes difficult, these Sephardic Jews did not experience, by and large, pogroms or the influences of the Enlightenment or Reform Judaism. In Europe, Jews were the leaders of the Labor and Socialist movements and spearheaded the establishment of labor unions in America. The challenge of assimilation in the United States was the greatest difficulty confronting Jewish immigrants. Attempts were made to stem the tide. Reform Judaism became a symbol of acceptance into modern American society and Dr. Solomon Schechter initiated the Universal Synagogue movement which became Conservative Judaism. Also Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jewish immigrants had to find their respective places within the Jewish community and in their new host country, the United States, as well.. A small, strong group of American Jewish immigrants managed to cling to their Jewish traditions and adapt themselves to the new reality in America. Meanwhile, for Jews around the world, with the threat of WWI looming, the imperial race for supremacy was escalating.
