The Shtetl

I don't know where this is from.

Enézio E. de Almeida Filho said...: This is a scene from the movie Train of Life: In 1941, the inhabitants of a small Jewish village in Central Europe organize a fake deportation train so that they can escape the Nazis and flee to Palestine.

There is a misconception that makes it seem very unreal; It's way too clean and organised in the shtetl. For a reference, look at "Once upon a shtetl" by Chaim Schapiro.; Sunday, January 09, 2011 1:09:00 PM
