A Town Called Brzostek
A Documentary Introduced by Russ Maurer
|
Join us as we present the award-winning documentary,
“A Town Called Brzostek,” at our July
meeting. This documentary is a compelling tale of a professor from
London who goes looking for his Jewish past In Poland and how a
reconciliation takes place that reverberates around the world.
This one-hour film, which won awards for its beauty
and sensitivity at two Jewish film festivals in eastern Europe,
presents the story of Professor Jonathan Webber, who returns to
the place of burial of his grandfather.
|
 |
|
Upon his arrival, he learns that a vacant plot of
land is the only remnant of the former Jewish cemetery. With the
help of the mayor, priest and local community, the main protagonist
restores the burial site and brings about its consecration. It also
includes the interesting stories of three different families with
roots in Brzostek—from Australia, France and the United States—who
returned to Brzostek for the commemoration ceremonies.
