S1, E4: Simon Schama explores the rich history of the Jews of Eastern Europe. Drawing on richly evocative archival footage and photographs, and accompanied by vivid location photography in Slovakia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine and America, Simon Schama conjures up the unique culture of faith and ferment, poetry and music that was inspired by the struggle against oppression in the Russian Pale of Settlement, and how that rich culture found a new home with the mass Jewish emigration to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
