Glenn Kurtz - Three Minutes in Poland: Discovering a Lost World in a 1938 Family Film — at Sixth & I

Thursday, December 11, 2014 - 7:00pm to 8:01pm

 Three Minutes in Poland traces the author's four-year journey to identify the people in the three-minute segment of his grandparents’ 1938 vacation-film footage of Nasielsk, Poland, where there was a thriving Jewish community before the Second World War. Intrigued by the faces and curious about the lives, Kurtz, the author of Practicing, set about tracking down the identities and descendants of those in the movie, with stirring results. Rarely seen archival footage will punctuate an intimate conversation between the author and USHMM Film Researcher Leslie Swift. Co-sponsored with United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
