Simply Jews: I Was There in Color

28 August 2010

This is an amazing story of a treasure almost thrown away.

Dick Stanley said...: Very nice. Life does look harder in black-n-white and, somehow, easier in color. Works that way for the rare color films of World War 2, also. But, then, none of that footage is of war. Blood and gore probably would be more shocking in color.; 12:17 PM, August 28, 2010

SnoopyTheGoon said...: That's the way most of the history goes: into the bin. However, re these specific tapes, I understand that everything survived.; 4:51 PM, August 28, 2010
David All said...: Thank God this film was saved. Seeing things in color (or colour as the British would spell it) when you are use to seeing them in black & white is quite a jolt. Fascinating to remember that people were going about their lives as normal as they could even while events like the War of Independence was going on.; 10:18 PM, August 30, 2010
David All said...: PS: That British Mandate Policeman in kilts was a special bonus.; 10:19 PM, August 30, 2010
SnoopyTheGoon said...: Yep, I've enjoyed the clip too. Will try to get to the movie, when it comes out.; 10:35 AM, August 31, 2010
