One will never know why Wehrmacht Sergeant Heinz Joest decided to celebrate his 43rd birthday in 1941 by illegally photographing inside the ghetto. Or why he kept the pictures hidden for some forty years until he knew he was dying. But this German soldier s images of the misery, and also the spirit, of its doomed inhabitants form the core of Jack Kuper's extraordinary portrayal of humanity in a nightmare situation. The filmmaker, himself a Holocaust survivor, has done a masterful job combining Joest s pictures with a multi-voiced dramatic narration taken from hidden ghetto diaries. Yiddish songs, klezmer music, sound effects and skillful camera work heighten the impact. Stark images show life behind the ghetto walls. There are beggars with imploring grins, peddlers hawking arm-bands, scruffy urchins, emaciated musicians, and the occasional nattily dressed resident, probably a recent arrival. Though they live in unbearable circumstances, it is apparent that the people have not been completely stripped of their culture and identity. Illegal schools and prayer groups co-exist with disease and hunger. The diaries reveal a chord of humor running through the despair. A Day in the Warsaw Ghetto gives reality to an almost incomprehensible evil. 001356048 521__ $$aFor College; Adult audiences. 001356048 546__ $$aThis edition in English. 001356048 586__ $$aAmerican Psychiatric Association, 1993 001356048 586__ $$aGold Apple, National Educational Film & Video Festival, 1992 001356048 586__ $$aJewish Film Festival San Francisco, 1993 001356048 650_0 $$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$$zPoland$$zWarsaw. 001356048 651_0 $$aWarsaw (Poland)$$xHistory. 001356048 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 001356048 7761_ $$cOriginal$$w(OCoLC)747798043 001356048 85640 $$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;1649674 001356048 901__ $$aASP1649674/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c25168$$tbiblio 001356048 905__ $$uadmin 001356048 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1356048$$pGLOBAL_SET 001356048 944__ $$a1785001 001356048 945__ $$aThe Whole World 001356048 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001356048 980__ $$aBIB 001356048 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001356048 983__ $$aOnline
