Spark Among the Ashes

Forty years after the end of World War II, the Jewish community of Krakow, Poland-nearly obliterated during the Holocaust-eagerly awaited the bar mitzvah of 13-year-old American Eric Strom, the first such event taking place in their synagogues since the war. This affecting documentary chronicles a fascinating episode in the history of Polish Jewry. Narrated by Eli Wallach. 53 min. Soundtrack: English.
