A video documentary produced by Vermont Public Television with financial support from the Carolyn and Leonard Miller Center for Holocaust Studies
In the late 19th century, Jews from neighboring villages in rural Lithuania settled in Burlington, Vermont, a bustling port amid countryside that reminded them of home. Archival images and interviews with descendants of the original settlers capture the history of a community that enriches the culture of Vermont to this day.
