David Teitelbaum (1891-1972), an amateur filmmaker who was born in Wielopole, emigrated to the United States in the early 1900s and became a successful businessman. He would return to his hometown almost every year to visit his family, and in 1938, he filmed his trip. In June or July 1939 he traveled to Wielopole again, but only stayed for a short time, fearing that war was imminent. It is possible that some sections of the film were filmed on that last visit. The film features members of the Teitelbaum, Rappaport and Sartoria families, their neighbors and acquaintances.
My grandfather is in this video and he did survive, only one of a few did from the whole village. He passed away in his 90s in 2011.
The most evil act is to take away someone's name.. to treat them as part of some group that is the' enemy' .. it makes them easy to destroy. I am so glad that this film exists because it restores names to those who had everything taken away from them - even life itself. May they be remembered.
Please explain why these people were seen to be dangerous? I’m Jewish non of my ancestors ever harmed anyone my Ashkenazi ancestors were so poor in Russia they only had 2 pairs of shoes:(
Look how cosy, gentle and calm these people lived. Ooo, I wish I could step into the movie to warn them !!! Why did this happened, why !!! I will never understand that. The only thing I can do, is shouting at everybody: "NEVER FORGET, NEVER AGAIN !!!!" And to the ones who disliked this film, SHAME ON YOU !!!!!!! In Memoriam 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
How can these people seem dangerous to others? They all seem so kind and gentle, smiling to the photgrapher. My heart and soul crying for these people and many others like them. Alehém hashalóm. עליהם השלום
I believe that too.
Those beautiful children... heartbreaking.
Well said, Marev. Singularly touching: heartbreaking and tragic. Those who fail to be moved looking at this innocence have little heart.
It is disturbing because we know what will happen. But at least we have a visual record.
Haunting...I feel like I could easily be looking at the faces of my ancestors...I've only recently uncovered deeply hidden jewish roots, on both sides of my family...and as I look at my older family pics the men especially look like this...still no one ever guessed this was some of our history....
It makes me so sad to know that these innocent sweet people were killed simply because of their race/religion. Not to mention it's haunting to know that most of the Jews in this film.... We're murdered.
At 5:01, you see a small building, maybe a monument. Found that it still exists from google streetscape. Probably few original buildings exist in that small town.
Thanks for sharing!. Consider how many villages were just as this, thought Poland and Lithuania...
This is amazing. Thank you for posting this.
My heart weeps for them
So sad to contemplate on what may have happened to these people.
I love them ♥️they look just like my ancestry. So beautiful and innocent God bless them!!🇺🇸🇮🇱
As danger once again confronts the Jewish people from many sides, such reminders are essential. We must be ever-vigilant to the ongoing threat of antisemitism, in all its forms.
It's so sad to see those kids, dark clouds are coming quickly!
Amazing!!!! Thank you very much for uploading.
precious moments of apparent peace
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
This movie was shot by the well-dressed man in the suit. His name was David Teitelbaum. He was born in Wielopole and moved to NY. He is the child of Oizer and Leah in the film. The beautiful young woman in the red dress is David's niece; she was born in Wielopole and moved to the United States. On June 30, 1942, the older members of the Jewish community were brought to the outskirts of town, and were murdered by the Nazis מח שמו' and thrown into a shallow grave. הי״ד
+Steven Teitelbaum thank you.... your family
+Steven Teitelbaum My grandmother was from Wielopole and emigrated here alone before the Shoah....her entire family--everyone and I mean everyone--was killed in the Shoah and we are the only descendants of the Zeiselberg family and Kleinman family from there...so utterly sad....

I will never forgive it all of them who was involved directly or indirectly in Shoah. I curse them and their new generations...
Interesting. I noticed that a few are well dressed and modern, including the pretty lady in the red dress. Now you explained it.
Steven Teitelbaum God bless them. ♥️ My Ashkenazi family moved to Long Beach LI NY and Queens NY I love this video
unfortunate the world has not learned what it means to live in harmony
So heartbreaking.
really something special! THanks for posting!
Wow! Amazing..toda! so glad you shared!!
I'm sure glad my ancestors on both sides of the family left around 1910. The pogroms were bad enough. They knew it was time to get out of there.
Amazing, but so utterly sad. I believe no one in the film lived through the war. This is history!
Fantastic!!!!!
in memoriam on ne les pleure pas assez hélas .....
Amazing. Color!
Fabulous my family on mothers side came from the Russian empire Ashkenazi Jews they were.

What is it about a rabbis, and orthodox Jews?, why they don't want to be filmed? And when did that viewpoint start? SHALOM from LAS VEGAS. .LOVE SEEING THESE CLIPS, OF MY OWN PEOPLES HERITAGE, THANKS FOR SHAREING WITH THE WORLD.

Brandon Foote color film exist since 1920s
Brandon Foote I bought an old magazine from 1940 a few months ago and found photographs with colored film and was surprised, too. I thought it was from '60's, colored film.
It would be great if the film could be improved. Anyway glad I saw it. Thanks.
