This documentary traces the history of the Jews from the beginning of their recorded history to the establishment of the nation of Israel. The conditions of anti-Semitism and the torturous struggles of a people oppressed for millennia is chronicled in the narrative. With the possible exception of various World War II scenes, all of the footage is new. The feature goes beyond the Six-Day War of 1967 and gives an accurate accessing of the political instability that has always existed in the Middle East.
