******* WMM FEATURED HOLOCAUST & JEWISH TITLES ********

SISTERS IN RESISTANCE, a film by Maia Wechsler http://www.wmm.com/catalog/pages/c563.htm
2000, 60 minutes
"This compelling documentary shares the story of four French women of uncommon courage who, in their teens and twenties, risked their lives to fight the Nazi occupation of their country. Neither Jews nor Communists, within two years all four were arrested by the Gestapo and deported as political prisoners to the hell of Ravensbruck concentration camp. Today, elderly but still very active, they continue to push forward as social activists and intellectual leaders in their fields." - Human Rights Watch International Film Festival

SHADOWS OF MEMORY, a video by Claudia von Alemann
http://www.wmm.com/catalog/pages/c569.htm
2000, 43 minutes
Filmmaker Claudia von Alemann embarks on a journey to uncover her family's painful history with the Third Reich during World War II. In an attempt to reconcile this unsettling past, the filmmaker, her 84-year old mother, and her 17-year old daughter, reunite in the small East German village of Seebach to reveal a disturbing, but rarely heard point of view on Nazism: that of an average German citizen and mother of six and housewife, believing in Hitler, who later radically changed her beliefs.

SILENT SONG, a video by Elida Schogt 
http://www.wmm.com/Catalog/pages/c568.htm 
2001, 6 minutes
Acclaimed filmmaker Elida Schogt deftly conjures an elaborate dialogue around issues of memory in its various forms - personal, historical, filmic - through her deceptively simple meditations on a single image of a boy playing the accordion after the liberation of the concentration camps. SILENT SONG is the third installment of Elida Schogt's HOLOCAUST TRILOGY, which also includes THE WALNUT TREE and ZYKLON PORTRAIT.

ISA KREMER:  THE PEOPLE'S DIVA, directed by Nina Baker Feinberg and Ted Schillinger, a film by the Women's Media Group
http://www.wmm.com/catalog/pages/c481.htm
2000, 56 minutes 
A charismatic stage performer who crisscrossed the world; a diva activist who confronted totalitarianism and despotism; an internationally acclaimed artistic pioneer who was the first woman to bring Yiddish songs to the world stage, this fascinating documentary recovers Isa Kremer's remarkable story through a wealth of archival images, as well as interviews with family, friends, and performing artists to reclaim her legacy for posterity.


Also part of WMM's growing Holocaust and Jewish Collection are the three highly acclaimed videos, DARING TO RESIST, the celebrated documentary of three Jewish women who choose resistance rather than submission during Hitler's reign of terror; THE RETURN OF SARAH'S DAUGHTERS a compelling personal documentary about secular women drawn to Jewish Orthodoxy and the modern conflicts they experience between assimilation and tradition; and A HEALTHY BABY GIRL, a disturbing portrait of a Jewish mother and daughter struggling with the legacy of the ineffective carcinogenic synthetic hormone DES, by the recent Sundance award-winner, Judith Helfand.  

Please check out our website at www.wmm.com for information on these and other titles.  You can also request a copy our 30th Anniversary catalogue or get information on other new releases at http://www.wmm.com/catalog/newrelse/new_releases.htm.
