Item Description:

The Faith and Fate film series dramatically and emotionally tells the story of how the events of the 20th Century impacted on the Jewish people – and the impact the Jewish people had on the century. It allows us to see ourselves in the ‘big picture’ of the nearly 4,100 years of Jewish survival. Highly informative and entertaining, the series tells us that despite the trials and tragedies there are triumphs – and that knowing where we come from will help us to understand where we are going.
