An award-winning film, SHTTL (Ukraine, 2022), portrays the lives of people in a small Ukrainian Jewish town (shtetl) at the Polish border, 24 hours before the Nazi invasion. It is a touching story of a filmmaker who returns from Kyiv to his native shtetl to marry the love of his life and disrupts the balance of the entire town. With introductory remarks by Stefan Djordjevic, History Department. Snacks will be provided.
