Hidden Face

"Astir Panai" is a documentary film about the Hassidic leader of Tsanz at the time of the Holocaust and after it ended. Holocaust researcher Moshe Roth talks about the Jewish world in Europe that the Holocaust destroyed, and tells about the Tsanz family in Galicia. He says that the Rabbi opposed Zionism and that he believed that during the Holocaust, God "hid his face" from the Jews. After the Holocaust, the Rabbi moved from DP camp to DP camp wanting to instill hope for a better future among the survivors. He established Jewish schools and yeshivas and other Jewish institutions. Then he moved from Europe to the United States. Several years later he made Alia, and established Kiryat Tsanz in Natanya, where he established Laniado Hospital.
