In 1921, 550 Jews lived in the town of Wielopole Skrzyńskie, constituting about half of the local population. At that time, some 20 small Jewish factories were in operation there.

David Teitelbaum (1891-1972), an amateur filmmaker who was born in Wielopole, emigrated to the United States in the early 1900s and became a successful businessman. He would return to his hometown almost every year to visit his family, and in 1938, he filmed his trip. In June or July 1939 he traveled to Wielopole again, but only stayed for a short time, fearing that war was imminent. It is possible that some sections of the film were filmed on that last visit. The film features members of the Teitelbaum, Rappaport and Sartoria families, their neighbors and acquaintances.

My grandfather is in this video and he did survive, only one of a few did from the whole village. He passed away in his 90s in 2011.

The most evil act is to take away someone's name.. to treat them as part of some group that is the' enemy' .. it makes them easy to destroy. I am so glad that this film exists because it restores names to those who had everything taken away from them - even life itself. May they be remembered.

It is disturbing because we know what will happen. But at least we have a visual record.

Look how cosy, gentle and calm these people lived. Ooo, I wish I could step into the movie to warn them !!! Why did this happened, why !!! I will never understand that. The only thing I can do, is shouting at everybody: "NEVER FORGET, NEVER AGAIN !!!!" And to the ones who disliked this film, SHAME ON YOU !!!!!!! In Memoriam 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

It makes me so sad to know that these innocent sweet people were killed simply because of their race/religion. Not to mention it's haunting to know that most of the Jews in this film.... We're murdered.

At 5:01, you see a small building, maybe a monument. Found that it still exists from google streetscape. Probably few original buildings exist in that small town.

As danger once again confronts the Jewish people from many sides, such reminders are essential. We must be ever-vigilant to the ongoing threat of antisemitism, in all its forms.

This movie was shot by the well-dressed man in the suit. His name was David Teitelbaum. He was born in Wielopole and moved to NY. He is the child of Oizer and Leah in the film. The beautiful young woman in the red dress is David's niece; she was born in Wielopole and moved to the United States. On June 30, 1942, the older members of the Jewish community were brought to the outskirts of town, and were murdered by the Nazis מח שמו' and thrown into a shallow grave. הי״ד

I'm sure glad my ancestors on both sides of the family left around 1910. The pogroms were bad enough. They knew it was time to get out of there.
