From Shtetl to Swing (2005)
Fabienne Rousso–Lenoir

Between 1880 and 1924, 2.5 million Jews fled
persecution in Russia and Eastern Europe, kissed the shtetl goodbye and migrated to America. From Yiddish theatre to musical extravaganza, from klezmer to ragtime, from symphonic jazz to swing – all the way rom the Bowery to Tin Pan Alley to Broadway to Hollywood – From Shtetl to Swing recounts the ebullient, screaming-to-be-told story of a musical metamorphosis born in darkest Russia only to blaze across the sky of the Great White Way.
