Geto: The Historic Jewish Ghetto Venice

Marking the 1980 dedication of a Holocaust memorial and then looking back through centuries of time, this documentary offers a compelling account of the Venetian Ghetto─the very place from which the word "ghetto" originated. Narrated by opera singer Regina Resnik (who also co-wrote and co-produced), the film revisits the history of how the Jews were discriminated against in the ghetto...long before the murder of six million at the hands of the Nazis. 54 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
