This fascinating portrait of shtetl life was made by Jack Weisbord, an American whose father-in-law had emigrated from Kurow, a Polish town not far from Lublin. At the time, the Jewish population of Kurow comprised over 50% of the approximately 4,000 persons in the shtetl. The film shows the villagers of Kurow immersed in animated conversation; the streets and shops of a typical Polish town; a latter-day Tevye with his horse; a weary pauper resting on a curbside; several family portraits; the ancient cemetery; as well as the contrast between the local church and the old synagogue.
