Bridge of Books: The Story of the Yiddish Book Center DVD - Jewish Cultural Documentary Film for History Enthusiasts & Educational Use in Schools

Documentary Film/DVD

Bridge of Books is the moving and often funny chronicle of how an enterprising twenty-three-year-old Aaron Lansky rallied together an international network of volunteers and set out to rescue the world's Yiddish books. Decades later, the Yiddish Book Center has collected more than a million Yiddish books, helping to save a rich, diverse, and surprisingly modern literature from oblivion
