This 2019 documentary film focuses on the Jewish residents who once lived and worked in Pittsburgh’s historic Hill District, which is better known as an African-American enclave.
From 1890 to 1950 the Hill District was an ethnically diverse neighborhood populated with immigrants — especially Jews from Eastern Europe — who were starting a new life in America.
Through historical photographs, original paintings, and personal memories from those who grew up there, “Jewish Memories Of Pittsburgh’s Hill District” presents a vivid picture of the sights, sounds, joys and struggles of a vibrant community at a time in this country when immigrants were welcomed and neighbors helped each other regardless of their differences.
Director and Producer Kenneth Love will attend the screening. Presented as part of three Rivers Film Festival, the largest and longest running annual film festival in Southwestern Pennsylvania. For more information, call (412) 361-0873.
