Filmmaker Joanna Rudnick was 27
years old when she tested positive for
the "breast cancer gene' Her docu-
mentary, In the Family, recounts how
she confronts her mortality and the
difficult decisions she must make
about her body.
While this is not a specifically
"Jewish" show, the gene in question
is most common among Ashkenazi
Jewish women. Airs nationally
Wednesday, Oct. 1, at 10 p.m.
God on Trial is a compelling
drama about a group of prisoners in
Auschwitz who put God on trial for
abandoning His people. It stars Antony
Sher (Primo) and Rupert Graves and
is scheduled to air nationally Sunday,
Nov. 16, at 9 p.m.
A two-hour Nova special, The
Bible's Buried Secrets, scheduled to
air nationally 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 18,
combines scholarship and science to
investigate the origins of the ancient
Israelites, their belief in a single,
omnipotent God and the creation of
the Bible.
It suggests that the Hebrews con-
tinued to worship pagan gods even
after Abraham's covenant and that,
in fact, many Israelites believed God
had a wife and worshipped her as
an idol. That allegedly changed with
the destruction of the First Temple
and exile to Babylon; it was then that
the idea of a single, universal God
emerged.
Inheritance refers to the legacy that
Amon Goeth, the infamous concen-
tration camp commander (depicted
by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List),
left for his daughter Monika Hertwig.
She searches for redemption in the
form of Helene Jonas, a prisoner who
worked in Goeth's house. Scheduled to
air nationally Wednesday, Dec. 10, at
9 p.m.
No time and date have been set yet
for Lights! A Hanukkah Celebration.
It includes performers ranging from
the Klezmatics (doing the music of
Woody Guthrie); Michelle Citrin, a
