	Broadcast of SHTETL by PBS
		Considering the way the Bransk village priest was mercilessly lampooned by Marzynski, the most obscene aspect of the production is the fact that the actual priest in Bransk at the time of the Nazi Occupation was himself killed for sheltering Jews.
		Very little of pre-World War II Bransk remains, so Maszynski deliberately shot footage in three different towns in order to give the feeling that Bransk is merely the dead shell of the wondrous world of "Fiddler on the Roof" with streets lined with picturesque cottages formerly occupied by Jews.
		Bransk was one of the earliest Soviet conquests when they advanced westward.

		Harry said that Barnet was from Bransk (which he correctly pronounced as Brainsk) which he knew was in Grodno Gubernia.
		One uzed in Grodno Gubernia was called Bielsk which had Bielsk Podlaski as its center, and the town of Bransk was in the district of Bielsk.

	Shtetl Film Review - Time Out Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Narrated by the Polish-born film-maker, Marzynski, this engrossing, sober, deeply moving documentary reconstructs, through visits, photographs and memories the Shtetl of Bransk, a town 160 km east of Warsaw with a Jewish population of 2,500 in 1939, now with none.
		In the middle section, Marzynski takes a Gentile historian of Bransk Jewish history, Zbyszek Romaniuk, to America to meet Kaplan, thus raising questions of Romaniuk's objectivity and the Polish people's responsibility for the fate of the Jews.
		Marzynski is an intent interviewer, but he adopts a leisurely, slightly meandering approach to structure, which nevertheless pays off in moments of extraordinary passion.

		Marzynski embodies in his life the same dualities his film explores: He himself is a Polish-born Jew, who as a child was protected from the Nazis by Catholics during the German occupation.
		With his American friend Nathan Kaplan, Marzynski talks to the present-day residents of Bransk, including young Zbyszek Romaniuk, a Christian who is trying to reconstruct the largely obliterated history of Bransk's Jews.
		They also interview those old enough to remember -- and in some cases, participate in -- the events of the war.

		It was the subject of the 1996 PBS Frontline program "Shtetl" which was never repeated on PBS due to Polish American pressure.
		The description of how the Jews of Bransk were removed from the town; Polish peasants providing the carts, is the same.
		At any rate I honor my grandparents who came to the USA 100 yearts ago.
