\"Life<\/a>Rabbi Steven Weil chats with Director Yitzi Hertz and Producer Sammy Grundwerg about their new documentary, “Life is Strange.”<\/p>\n

LIFE IS STRANGE evokes the vibrant life of Jewish families in\u00a0pre-World War II Europe through childhood memories of survivors.\u00a0Intimate conversations with people from all walks of life are presented\u00a0against a tapestry of rare footage that takes us into the heart of pre-war\u00a0Yiddish culture, and portrays a universal experience of carefree childhood.\u00a0The movie explores the connection between old age and childhood, what\u00a0remains of childhood in our later years, and how the memory of the past can be retained when the world that created it no longer exists.\u00a0Started as an attempt by two friends to trace a family history, the documentary grew to a feature-length story of 25 people around the world united by shared childhood. It includes interviews with Shimon Peres, President of the state of Israel, Walter Kohn, Nobel laureate in Chemistry, Robert Aumann, Nobel Laureate in economics, and children’s book author Uri Orlev.
