{"product_id":"chasing-portraits","title":"Chasing Portraits","description":"Product Description\n\nMoshe Rynecki (1881-1943) was a prolific Warsaw-based artist who painted scenes of the Polish-Jewish community until he was murdered at Majdanek concentration camp. After the Holocaust, Moshe s wife was only able to recover a small fraction of his work, but unbeknownst to the family, many other pieces survived.\nFor more than a decade his great-granddaughter, Elizabeth Rynecki, has searched for the missing art, with remarkable and unexpected success. Spanning three generations, 'Chasing Portraits' is a deeply moving narrative of the richness of one man s art, the devastation of war, and one woman s unexpected path to healing.\n\nReview\n\n\"Part 'Woman in Gold' and part family home movie, with shades of 'Everything Is Illuminated' and Antiques Roadshow, the documentary 'Chasing Portraits' is both funnier and deeper than even its compelling premise suggests.\" --Shana Nys Dambrot, LA Weekly\n\n\"With its compelling tale of a family's trauma and recovery, Elizabeth Rynecki's story is captivating throughout every stage of her journey. As the years go by, the number of living Holocaust survivors shrinks, and the importance of preserving this part of history through the younger generations grows. 'Chasing Portraits' shows the pain and impact of the Holocaust spanning every generation and also showcases the strength it takes to heal. Rynecki has created a beautiful portrait of loss and growth and in doing so has brought the gift of Moshe Rynecki's art to a new, thankful audience.\" --Dylan Brennan, NONFICS\n\n\"This moving portrait of one woman's effort to connect with her family history and particularly with a man she never knew had me tearing up. The connections she made with her great grandfather across time and space was magical. Highly recommended.\" --Steve Kopian, Unseen Films\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B07Y97FK4Y\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B07Y97FK4Y.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Elizabeth Rynecki|Shula Eliaz|Alex Rynecki|Naomi Steinberg|Violetta Bachur\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
