The next film in the Sandra and Mendel Rosenberg Sunday Afternoon Film Series will be the St. Louis premiere of “A Brivele der Mamen” (A Letter to Mother), screening at 1 p.m. Nov. 26 in the Holocaust Museum’s theater at the Jewish Federation building, 12 Millstone Campus Drive.

Released in September 1939, this tale of family disintegration and poverty serves as a metaphor for the displacements European Jewry faced at that time. One of the last Yiddish films made in Poland before the Nazi invasion, the film tells the story of a mother’s persistence in supporting her family in pre-World War I Polish Ukraine and the family’s eventual immigration to the United States in search of a brighter future. This film, directed by Joseph Green, will screen in Yiddish with English subtitles, with a running time of 106 minutes.

Introductory remarks and a post screening discussion will be facilitated by Diane Everman, archivist and curator of the exhibition, “Untold Sacrifices: The St. Louis Jewish Community in the Great War.” 

The film is free and open to the public, although RSVPs are required. For more information, call 314-442-3711 or email [email protected] or visit http://bit.ly/HMLC-films.
