Tijuana Jews

Isaac Artenstein, award-winning director and producer, will discuss Tijuana Jews, a one-hour documentary.  The film tells the story of thousands of European Jews who sailed to Mexico in the early 20th century and provides insights into the experiences of the local pioneers who established the Jewish community in the region. He will also show previews of his recent work documenting Jewish communities in the U.S. Southwest. Q&A will follow.

This program is provided by our partners the San Antonio Public Library Foundation, Sharkmatic Advertising, Holocaust Memorial Museum and our supporters, Carmen & Steven Goldberg, Rabbi Samuel & Lynn Stahl, Bette & Jack Vexler.
