The screenings are part of the Jewish Museum’s Mini film festival with the Israeli documentary filmmaker Dvorit Shargal’s films and Anna Riwkin-Brick’s classic photo series on children of the world.

What happened with the children in Swedish-Jewish photographer Anna Riwkin-Brick’s (1908-1970) popular photobook series from the 1950s and 60s? Documentary filmmaker Dvorit Shargal tries to find the answer to this question.
