History

Jews Survived WWII by living in a Cave,  For almost two years, the Stermer family lived with several other Jews in underground caves in the Ukraine to avoid being captured by Nazis, a little-known yet incredible tale. The Stermer family and several others spent 344 consecutive days living in what is known as Priest's Grotto, a "massive underground sanctuary," in the Ukraine during World War II, Brian Handwerk reported for National Geographic News.

Our Neighbor, Miss Yae (Shimazu, 1934)

Our Neighbor, Miss Yae (Shimazu, 1934) is a delightful comedy/drama about the friendship between two neighboring families set in contemporary suburban Japan. The plot concerns a love triangle between a law student who “looks like Frederic March” and the two sisters next door, one of whom is newly separated from her husband. In a lot of ways, this feels like the most modern (and westernized) Japanese movie of its era – the characters play baseball, watch a Betty Boop cartoon and engage in hilarious, flirtatious banter. The exchanges between the law student and the younger sister in particular (the Miss Yae of the title) are highly memorable and infectiously fun.
