“I could not pass on the opportunity to help tell this beautiful and tragic story. It is about Moses Beregovsky, a man who saved and preserved the musical heritage of the Jews of Ukraine. Before World War II, he was the only one who carried out such a project by collecting so much music and writing about it. To our knowledge there was no one similar in Poland, where most Jews lived, nor in Belarus, nor in many other countries.
Therefore, the work of Beregovsky became a monument not only to the Jews of Ukraine, where he worked, but to the entire East European Jewry.
With the film crew, we followed him through the villages of Ukraine. Villages where Jewish life was once in full swing. Now, so many decades later, the voices of thousands of women, children, old people, who were shot by the Nazis, haunt the empty houses.For these, and many other reasons, the story in this film adds texture and voice to the archive of Jewish life in Europe, one that must be remembered”
