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.

Children of the Storm
This documentary centers on interviews with dozens of the 1,100 Jewish refugee orphans who came to Canada under the postwar Canadian Jewish Congress War Orphans Project. Their stories describe survival of the Holocaust and the difficult transition to establish new lives in foster homes. Historian Irving Abella relates the Canadian wartime record, including Ottawa's rejection of 5,000 Jewish refugee children, all of whom subsequently perished. These survivors reflect the endurance and determination that allowed them to contribute to their adopted country in business, law, medicine, education, art and science....

Refugee Voices: Moments and Memories
This collection of 13 video testimonies is part of the Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) project that provides an extensive range of social and welfare services, and grants financial assistance to Jewish victims of Nazi persecution who came to Britain before, during and after WWII. About 70,000 refugees - including approximately 10,000 children on the Kindertransport - arrived in from Nazi-occupied Europe in the late 1930s. Many more arrived after the end of the WWII having survived in hiding, in ghettos or in concentration camps. Today, membership is extended to all Jewish victims of Nazi persecution and...

Exodus 1947
This documentary examines the history and impact of the Exodus 1947, the ship that tried to run the British blockade of Palestine. Crewed by former Jewish-American GIs, the ship took on a cargo of Holocaust survivors in France and headed for Palestine in the summer of 1947. After a battle on the high seas with the British, the illegal immigrants were sent back to DP camps in the British Zone of Germany. The newsreel and print media seized upon the Exodus 1947 as a symbol of the Jewish struggle for statehood. This aborted voyage evoked international support for the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine....

Return to Hell - The Drama of the "Exodus"
