(2018, 70 minutes, DVD, English) Join JewishGen for a screening of My Dear Children, a new documentary that explores the history of anti-Jewish massacres in Eastern Europe following WWI through one family’s quest to unravel the mystery of their ancestors. Told through the firsthand account of Feiga Shamis—a mother of 12 who was desperate to keep her children safe in a horrific time—the film offers a window onto the ways in which genealogy can unlock world history.
After the film, director Co-Producer/Director LeeAnn Dance will speak about this incredible project.
