Israeli Comedian Tal Friedman weaves together conversations with Holocaust survivors who talk about the importance of laughter and the use of humor as a coping mechanism during the Holocaust. While the topic of humor in World War II ghettos and concentration camps has occasionally been broached on screen, this deftly executed and life-affirming documentary adds the vital voice of survivors themselves into the conversation. Sponsored by The Consulate General of Israel to New England
