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 when so many other communities have vanished? Hosted by Martha Teichner, senior correspondent for “CBS News Sunday Morning,” THE JEWISH PEOPLE: A STORY OF SURVIVAL explores some of the answers.

While other films have explored Jewish religion or Jewish culture, this original production is the first Jewish film organized around the central themes of survival and the achievement of a people. Moving chronologically, THE JEWISH PEOPLE: A STORY OF SURVIVAL offers a sweeping overview of four millennia and the numerous civilizations — Babylonian, Roman, Muslim, Spanish, Soviet and other — that have ruled over the Jewish people.

Watch it Monday, August 4th at 8pm on KUAT6.
