| | 1. |  | The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
from 20th Century Fox
Customer Review:
The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg may be the best baseball documentary ever. Not as thorough, long or epic as ken Burns' Baseball from 1994, L&T of H.G. is a wonderful vision of a player who's legacy is fast fading from the era still associated with DiMaggio, Gehrig and Ruth. His ascension to... more info

from Hbo Home Video
Customer Review:
A fascinating documentary, this HBO/Thames International production gives us a look into the life of Oskar Schindler (1908-1974), who was an incredibly complex character, and a character that varied according to who he was dealing with.

| | 5. |  | One Day in September
from Sony Pictures
Customer Review:
Another reviewer called this film "tense" and "visceral." I agree only with one of those adjectives -- visceral. The movie just doesn't move fast enough to keep the typical viewer's attention. Overall, good movie to see to remind yourself of the world that was, and still is, but it won't keep you on... more info

| | 6. |  | The 50 Years War: Israel and the Arabs
from Pbs Home Video
Customer Review:
The documentary is a really good introduction through different sources but gets a bit dry towards the end. It actually led me to look for other ways to learn more about the conflict. I stumbled across a video game called Global Conflicts: Palestine that is really worth a try.

| | 8. |  | Life Apart: Hasidism in America
from First Run Features
Customer Review:
This film is informative but rather superficial. If you know well the hassidic world or search for a deep understanding of his ways and thinking, this will be not enough for you. It gives information and (bless God!!) is sympathetic, but if the mind and professional expertise of the fim makers is... more info

from Jewish Heritage Project Inc
Price: $39.95
Customer Review:
I have been using this video in my courses since it was released. The film tells the story of the Lodz ghetto through a well-crafted mosaic of first-person accounts and archival films and photos. The former include ghetto diaries, chronicles, speeches by Rumkowski, posted SS "announcements," and... more info
