Movie: LAST KLEZMER, THE DVD

This festive Jewish band music originated in pre-World War II Poland, but now resonates in a cultural and musical revival all across America. This film looks at one of the pioneers of this music, a remarkable, 69-year-old man named Leopold Kozlowski. Kozlowski is the last active Klezmer musician trained in the original, prewar tradition. This spirited documentary follows Kozlowski as he returns, for the 1st time in 50 years, to the Polish village where he was raised. Though his parents were killed by the Nazis, and he himself spent much of the war in concentration camps, Kozlowski emerged from the experience devoted to keeping alive his cultural heritage and Klezmer music.
