    This program is very long -- three hours. Mostly it consists of interviews with very little visual support. After about an hour we could not continue watching from the tedium. What might have been a reasonable 1 hour program became a tedious production that did not support its premise.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Poor execution of a brilliant story
    Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2013
    I watched "Shtetl" last night. I personally believe that only by teaching other generations about the horrible atrocities conducted during World War II can we prevent this from ever happening again. That said, unfortunately, I found the documentary, "Shtetl," the story of the search of one man for his roots in the small town of Bransk in Poland, long and, more regrettable, boring.

    The other negative reviews focused more on what they perceived as the anti-Jewish / pro-German bent of the movie. I wonder if the documentary had been created within a few years of World War II if the residents of Bransk would have been more honest when asked, "what did you think of the Jews?" "Do you know anyone who turned in Jews who were hiding?" It's easy for us to say we could have had the unbelievable courage to do the right thing and help someone hide from persecution even though it could mean your death or the death of your family.

    The quick statistics I found on-line were from 1914. There were 4,301 residents in Bransk. Of those, 1,500 were Jews; almost 35% percent. Out of all the remaining residents, only 14 (yes, fourteen) did the right, heroic thing and assisted their friends and neighbors. (14 non-Jewish residents of Bransk are noted as Righteous Among the Nations.) So I find it extremely unlikely that the few people they interviewed that were alive and young adults during WW2 are some of the 14 heroes. I admit that this was one of the better parts of the story; watching the elderly residents of Bransk scramble to explain that they left bread for their "friends." They weren't responsible for turning in a family - they loved their Jewish neighbors.

    This is not a critique on whether or not the Holocaust was horrible (words cannot describe). Nor is it a commentary on whether or not the surviving residents of WW2 from Bransk are probably so "full of it" that their eyes are brown (they are, in my humble opinion). Rather, it's my opinion that this was the bad execution of a story that could have been presented to properly relate the lives of the 1500 Jews in Bransk in such a way as to be riveting.
