We Live Again!

Among the first movies to deal with the subject of the Holocaust, this documentary about Jewish war orphans opened in New York in September 1948 and has rarely been seen since. According to film critic Jim Hoberman, the film was modeled on Children Must Laugh (Mir Kumen On, 1935), a pre-war Yiddish-language picture about Jewish orphans. The film incorporates newsreels, actual footage of children receiving aid from relief agencies, and a few staged sequences.
