- MESSAGE ME if you would like to obtain this footage in broadcast quality.
This video contains scenes of Jewish life in Eastern Europe (Hungary and Czechoslovakia) before the outbreak of World War II. It includes:
-Men on bicycles wear sashes with Hebrew blessing, parading for May Day.
-Huge crowds of well wishers on street.
-Grand Rabbi of Munkacs giving a speech
-Grand Rabbi's daughter's wedding.
-Zionist school: Large group of children sing "Hatikva"
-Small group of Orthodox children recite lesson, Melamed leads.
-Orthodox young man buys book from market stall.
-Sign for weaver, in German, Hungarian, Czech and Yiddish
-Shots of family working outdoors: spinning and weaving.
-Zionist youth group
-Large group dancing the hora.
The singing and dance scenes are a bittersweet pill to swallow because all i can think of is how many of those precious children, those voices raised in joyous song and dancing would be extinguished and the terror they would soon know
Yeah … makes your throat dry 💔
Magnificent video! I was born in Ukraine to a Jewish mother and I am highly proud of my religion/heritage and this truly exemplifies how beautiful European Jewry was before the war. It's sad that it isn't what it was before and honestly can't imagine how Europe would be today without 2000 years of impacting Jewish history.
Chat is a waste of time I have been aware of that for a long time and very proud of it.
Petr Petrik you disgust me.
Thanks for god for 2000years when jewish is a minority. This is a fake people and banished people in own territory. And think it is country, and create fake country „israel”
My mother is Jewish my dad catholic and I too am proud of my Jewish heritage
Tohle video Mukačeve ,rav Špira , kolik lidi už davno neňi😢 ja jsem z toho narodu a jsem hrdi na to.Jsem z Puznjakovce obec.
Many thanks for this incredible footage! It blows my mind to think that most of those people perished as a result of evil and hate. I am left traumatized and speechless. G-d bless their souls
God bless my Jewish brothers and sisters. I am a Christian from Arkansas, USA. But I will never keep my voice silent when I see anyone doing harm to the Jewish people.
May you flourish and grow as a people. May you find peace and prosperity.
I am also a Christian from Australia and this is exactly how I feel for the Jewish people. I greatly admire them and may Israel live forever.
PhiloAmericana Bless you and your family!
they are not real Jews read Deuteronomy 28 and tell me when have they ever been taken by ship to all four corners of the earth and sold as slaves. You all have been fooled and need to read scriptures to determine the real Israelites. God left plenty of signs.
+Kor ish truth
PhiloAmericana you disgust me. Jews believe Jesus is boiling in his own feces in hell, you're a disgrace to all Christians.
Beautiful, köszönöm szepen!
Thanks you Daniel for putting this priceless video up here. All of my grandparents came from this land in the Ukraine. They arrived in the USA in 1907-10. The Pogroms were very bad in those days hence their journey to America. Good thing they did or I wouldn't be. PERIOD!
Jewish pogroms is very, very good for europe people and the next one would come, jews is occupant my country and other country on the world
Hearing the children sing Hatikvah broke my heart into a trillion pieces
This gave me chills. They didn't even have any clue what was about to happen to the Jewish people. RIP to those who lost their lives to Nazi Germany.
What the happen with the jewish people? Its every good 🙈
Thank you for this.
Страшно подумать о том,что почти все эти прекрасные счастливые люди были убиты грядущей войной
This is from March 15th, 1933 Munkacs (Hasidic dynasty). Day of a wedding of Frima to Baruch Rabinovich, Firma was the only Daughter of Rabbi Chaim Elazar Shapira, Munkcheve ( yiddish "Munkatsh") Ukraine.
Over 20,000 guests attended the wedding, coming from all over Europe and even from the U.S.. According to Rudy Vecernik of the Munkacs daily newspaper, "The wedding lasted for seven days".
Never forget them.
Hans Grete Fuck you and your eternal speech!!! Go to hell!!
may god bless the Jewish people all around the world
Thank you for going to the trouble of letting us know. I can't tell you how many times I've watched the double hora segment at the end, wondering how many of its participants were still alive at war's end.
Well I was lucky that my great grandparents on both sides were booted out of Eastern Europe during the pogroms, otherwise we'd have been victims of the holocaust.
Alleyup1994USA wait what...?
Alleyup1994USA okay...?
Chloe wilson Then where is all my family ??? Stupid you !!!
TheClownofhearts what a shame.
Impresionante video. Son imágenes históricas de la vida Judía en países del este de Europa. Lamentablemente ese mundo fue destruido en el Holocausto (Shoah). Durante la 2a guerra mundial las fuerzas nazis arrasaron con esos pueblos, con esas personas, con esa cultura. Pero no lograron destruirla, la vida Judía sigue ... ; y si no es ahí, es en otros lugares del mundo, o en el estado de Israel. 🇮🇱
Their dance at the end is so cool
Those people suffer too much. The help for them come too late. Sometimes I can not understand why this was happened. We human being are to cruel.
This is hauntingly beautiful. So sad and yet so fascinating.
They had such good cameras at that time?
Thanks for uploading!
I shudder to think of watching those people being so happy and I know the horrors that were to come th them!
He aquí los hijos de Israel.sin duda que tienen un semblante que los hace únicos e inconfundibles.
Beautiful piece. When was this filmed??
What is the Jewish song at 3:04? I've heard that same song sung in many WWII movies and documentaries by Jewish actors and witnesses.
coyotedust I believe it’s in the description :)
It's Hatikvah, the Israeli national anthem :)
Es el "hatikvah".
Wow they “look so rich” I just cry so much
What language in the first part are they speaking. Yiddish?
Yes
Hatikvah Israel Himnusz
So they are singing Hatikvah before they are forced out of Europe to Israel?
Some of them were zionists
hey man, can I use this for a history school project?
It is sad that they were nearly all murdered, however, look how unintegrated they were. They chose to stick out from Polish culture. Most didn't even speak Polish, instead spoke Yiddish and Hebrew in their towns. They opted to be separate from everyone else and stick out so poorly, it made them a very easy target. Why didn't they choose to integrate into Polish culture?
Matt Daniels This was not Poland, but because integrating meant becoming Christian and they wanted to hold onto there religion. Europe wasn’t secular like it is now. Also, it’s hard to integrate in a society where people accuse you of everything including the death of Jesus.
Matt Daniels Also, this isn’t the Russian Empire either, but if you look up the Pale of Settlement, you’ll see that integrating was often not even an option.
Yes and you think they brought their own demise. I suppose all the Nobel prizes were hard to accept
The majority of Jews in pre WW2 Germany were secular and integrated into German society, that didn't stop the Holocaust.
The nazis persecuted many groups of people, including the Slavic peoples. Part of their ideology was the idea that they would sweep the lands in eastern Europe and then settle there and either murder everybody that lived there before or enslave them.
They were very thorough in their "research" of who was "Jewish" (many people that they believed to be Jewish were not even halachically Jewish), so it was impossible to not be found out.
What I am trying to say is, there was no way for any of them to have prevented what was about to happen.
The people in this video were orthodox / hasidic Jews, which means that they valued their religion and culture a lot. However, the majority of Jews in Europe were very well integrated and belonged to the liberal or conservative stream of Judaism. They lived completely normal lives and played important roles in society, yet that didn't save them either.
Could anyone tell me what year these films were shot? Thanks.
does somebody know what the children are reciting?
Hatikva, the israeli national anthem today. But i dont know the lyrics.
Izraelsku himnu pevaju. Tada je samo himna postojala a drzava ne
Seems awkward to ride a bicycle that slow. I’d almost rather walk. Perhaps the bicycle was seen more as entertainment than transportation at that time?
Where is the sound from?
😢😢😢
I was watching a short clip of Mail & Guardian on anti semitism on the streets of Britain Europe & frankly the tears were running down my cheeks. The Jewish people have for 2000 years been an integral part of Europe & this symbiosis has benefited the entire world. The recent additions to the European nations from Islamic & African states have yet to prove their worth & frankly that idea does not look promising so far.
Prove their worth? They're human beings. And the sickening tragedy of the Holocaust was horrific because of what happened to human beings, period.
Huh?! What does that have to do with Jews?!
Cute
It looks like a vibrant life, but the countries that had a lot of Jews until WW II don't want them back.
And?
