"I had expected to be horrified. But
once inside the cattle pen, I felt a sense
of relief. Don't think I have the soul of
a slave! Now I was surrounded by oth-
ers who shared my fate. No more
being paraded in the street like a
horse."
Shot in black and white, without a
note of music, The Last Letter is both
spare and poetic. It is a eulogy for
one's self and a plea to be remembered,
but it is also a blessing handed down
from mother to son.
Shortly before the Nazis liquidate
the ghetto, in one of the few sorrowful
passages in the film, she mourns, "I see
that this world will disappear. Life will
begin again after the war, but we will
have disappeared. Just like the Aztecs."
Then she reiterates her love for
Vitya, and her unending pride. Now it
is up to him to carry on her legacy of
decency; culture and courage.
The Last Letter had a two-week run
at a Manhattan theater in 2003 and
screened at a few Jewish film festivals
around the country, including Detroit's
JCC Lenore Marwil Jewish Film
Festival in 2003, where it won the
Harold and Sarah Gottlieb Prize for
Contributions to Jewish Culture.
The PBS broadcast will reach a
much larger audience, and it deserves
to be seen by as many people as possi-
ble. It is simply stunning. ❑
