Gershon Baskin: A memoir from an Israeli optimist

A photo of a Jewish family from Istanbul living in France in 1920 appears in director Yves Jeuland’s compelling documentary, Being Jewish in France (Comme un Juif en France). The 185-minute film explores French-Jewish history, from the emancipation of the Jews in 1791 to the Dreyfus Affair, murderous repression under the Vichy regime in World War II, and the rise of anti-Semitism in recent years, a reaction to Israeli policies in the European country with the largest Jewish and Muslim populations. The film will be shown Nov. 11, 13 and 15 at the Oak Street Cinema, as part of a Jewish film series. See below photo for details. — M.S.
