Poland 1930s Exclusive Film Footage of Jewish Shtetl
[NO AUDIO]
BRIGHTER VERSION HERE:
Footage of Lbumol taken in the early 1930's when the village/shtetl was part of Poland. After 1939 it became part of the Soviet Union and since the fall of that empire, Ukraine. According to Daniel Zim, the film was shot by Ethel Zim (wife of Julius Zim and Daniel's grandmother). During the 1933, the Zims traveled on an ocean liner trip to Europe. They stopped in Paris first. Then they split up. Julius never traveled to Luboml for fear that he would be drafted in the army. Instead, Ethel went to Luboml alone to meet her in-laws in Poland. The train from Paris to Luboml passed through Germany, then under Hitler's control. While Ethel was in Luboml, Julius traveled to Russia. At the time he was fascinated by communism and wanted to see the USSR first hand. However, he left Russia quite disappointed and unimpressed. Soon after he changed his views about communism.
Julius was a successful businessman. He developed such a reputation as a fashionable leopard coat designer that he became known as the Leopard King of Seventh Avenue. He was able to use his new found success to pay for the voyages of several of his relatives from Luboml before the Nazis arrived to safe harbor in America.
In the above video, the dapper man in a cashmere coat with velvet lapel and hat is Sidney Zimerberg, Julius' cousin. After years of letters back and forth, Julius arranged a marriage for Sidney with Eva Zuriff, (by paying her mother a large sum of money) a shy woman in New York who had grown up in Lbumol herself until age 13, and returned there to marry Sidney so that he was able to obtain a visa and come to the USA the following year. His four brothers, their wives and children and all the other 4000 Jews in Lbumol were slaughtered by the Nazis in 1942. At an emotional reunion of the 250 members of the Zimerberg family, and two other branches of the family, in 1987 at the World Trade Center, a family tree showed that without the Holocaust, the number of people in the room would have numbered in the thousands.
Julius and Ethel loved America and they lived the American Dream, a concept which has lost its luster during the Great Recession. Despite his thick Polish accent which made him stand out like a sore thumb, Julius never wanted to be anything else but an American.

Przygotowanie gleby. Przed posadzeniem naszych sadzonek, chmielu musimy zadbać o przygotowanie podłoża, nie koniecznie w taki sposób jak na filmie, wystarczą: szpadel i grabki, ważne żeby ziemię odpowiednio spulchnić, to zapewni roślinom szybki start :)
Alone Together in a Shtetl: Tzipah and Sarah

As the world’s leading Jewish humanitarian aid group, JDC today works in more than 70 countries and in Israel to alleviate hunger and hardship, rescue Jews in danger, create lasting connections to Jewish life, and provide disaster relief and development support for victims of natural and man-made disasters.
