PBS TV: The Jewish People: A Story of Survival
By Aliza Kaplan

A new film is available through Public Television and Two Cats Productions. From slavery to the loss of a homeland; from exile to anti-Semitism; from pogroms to near annihilation in the Holocaust, how did the Jews endure while so many other communities vanished? The Jewish People: A Story of Survival, an original one-hour film explores these themes of resilience, fortitude and achievement of the Jewish people, moving chronologically over four millennia, and the numerous civilizations – the Babylonians, the Romans, the Muslims, the Spanish, the Soviets and others – that have ruled over the Jewish people. Featuring Rabbi Brad Hirschfield, it is hosted by Martha Teichner, Senior Correspondent for “CBS News/Sunday Morning." Andrew Goldberg is Executive Producer and Director.
