What happens

Luboml: My Heart Remembers is a 2003 documentary film produced by Eileen Douglas and Ron Steinman and funded by The Aaron Ziegelman Foundation. It compiles survivor interviews, archival photographs and film footage to reconstruct a sense of life in Luboml, one of the five thousand small shtetls (Jewish market towns) that were destroyed by the Holocaust. The film explores the vibrant Jewish life that – once central to European Jewry – is now forever lost. Made in 2003, Luboml: My Heart Remembers was called a "must see gem" by The Forward.
