This film explores the work of
painter Jean-Claude Goldberg,
who was a hidden child in France
during the Holocaust. After the
death of his mother in the mid-
1990s, Jean-Claude became better
acquainted with the remnants of
the Jewish community to which
his mother had belonged. As he
says, I discovered a new world -
the world of the people who
escaped the war, the survivors
of the Holocaust. His increasing
fascination with Jewish subjects
led him to leave behind Paris and
a 40-year career in commercial art
and move to Brooklyn in order to
be near the vibrant Orthodox
Jewish communities that reside
there.
