Sephardic Film Series: Double Feature

December 8, 2015 (DOUBLE FEATURE NIGHT)

The Jewish People, a Story of Survival.

This is the story of Jewish survival. From slavery to the loss of their homeland; from exile to anti-semitism; from pogroms to near annihilation in the Holocaust, how did they endure while so many other communities have vanished? Hosted by Martha Teichner (CBS News / Sunday Morning), explores some of the answers. Acclaimed by the New York Times.
