"Here We Live Again" documentary film supplementary paper material

The supplementary materials consist of documentation about the production of the documentary film, “Here We Live Again”, featuring a number of Holocaust survivors who settled in Rhode Island after the end of World War II (1939-1945). There are two copies of a bound, 21-page booklet entitled “Here We Live Again: Essays and Letters,” which was produced by the Rhode Island Committee for the Humanities. These are likely slightly different versions, and contain contextual information, as well as a range of production notes about the film and documentary process. There are two table of contents style lists, one for each reel, as a well as a detailed explanation about the effort to identify individuals in a scene entitled “Card Party.” There are three lists of survivors’ names and addresses, likely participants in the documentary, and two are dated to late 1983. A multi-page, typed account of Morris Gastfreund’s life in Poland is included. There is also a photocopy of a newspaper article from April 1986. The majority of the materials are undated. The film itself was funded by a grant from the Rhode Island Committee for the Humanities and produced at the request of Holocaust Survivors of Rhode Island. Mike Fink and Peter O'Neill were the project directors. During production, Mike Fink conducted the interviews, Peter O'Neill was the cinematographer, the location sound was recorded by Rebecca Brenner, and the editing was done by Pam O'Neill.
