Critical Acclaim For P.O.V.’s “HIDING AND SEEKING: FAITH AND TOLERANCE AFTER THE HOLOCAUST” By Oren Rudavsky and Menachem Daum “A courageous trip into the morass of post-Holocaust faith, tribalism and intolerance, and generational perspectives. a heartfelt and rather brave film.” - Newsday “Extraordinarily moving.” - New York Magazine "Deeply moving... its examination of the long-lasting effects of evil on the psyche of its victims and their descendants is both thoughtful and much needed in these increasingly polarized times." - The Hollywood Reporter “Moving. .starts with a question: 'How did some Jews who experienced the Holocaust maintain their faith in God?' What follows is that rarest of travel films, one that makes the gradual voyage of a soul toward enlightenment palpable.” - Village Voice “One of the most deeply moving documentaries I've seen recently.” - Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune “What's unique about this documentary … is that it grips history with both hands, shakes it, examines it, and exits with the entire wrinkled contents bravely in tow.” - Janice Page, The Boston Globe “Ultimately, Hiding and Seeking is about finding the humanity in all people. This PBS-bound documentary lives up to that ambitious ideal.” - Paul Sherman, The Boston Herald “A subtle and complex look at a father's quest for tolerance.” - Deborah Hornblow, Hartford Courant “A touching documentary.” - George Robinson, The Jewish Week, New York “[Menachem] Daum proves to be a rich subject for cinematic treatment. With three generations of both Jews and Poles reunited, the film creates a dramatic opportunity for closure.” - Annette Insdorf, The Forward, New York “Hiding and Seeking stands as an exceptional example of truth-telling and a luminous work of art. All TV watchers, Jewish and non-Jewish, should see it also as an important point of departure for their own quests for understanding.” - Jules Becker, The Jewish Advocate, Boston “Deeply rewarding. This valuable film is a natural for family viewing, with a lively discussion guaranteed to follow.” - Michael Fox, Detroit Jewish News “Unexpectedly affecting. even adult children have something to learn from their parents.
