Synopsis
LINE

Among the first movies to deal with the subject of the Holocaust, this documentary about Jewish war orphans opened in New York in September 1948 and has rarely been seen since. According to film critic Jim Hoberman, the film was modeled on Children Must Laugh, a pre-war Yiddish-language picture about Jewish orphans.

We Live Again incorporates newsreels, actual footage of children receiving aid from relief agencies, and a few staged sequences. An introductory credit reads: "This film is about the children in the Homes and Camps of France, operated under the auspices of the Jewish Union for Resistance and Mutual Aid. It was produced in the summer and fall of 1946, two years after the Liberation and is dedicated to the memory of those who died so that their children might live and laugh in peace."

The film is an important companion piece to both Our Children and Long Is the Road, two post-war films about displaced persons restored by NCJF with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
