Beyond Fiddler: Teaching Representations of Jewish Eastern Europe on Film

Sarah Zarrow dis­cuss­es and reflects on her course Rep­re­sent­ing Jew­ish East­ern Europe in Film” in which she asks stu­dents to think his­tor­i­cal­ly about the images of Jew­ish life in East­ern Europe, using films as pri­ma­ry sources that speak not only to a his­tor­i­cal real­i­ty of their sub­ject mat­ter, but that also to the ide­ol­o­gy and his­tor­i­cal cir­cum­stances of the film­mak­er and of Jew­ish life in the time and place the film was made.
