Munkatch, Hungary

Amazing video! Includes a clip from the Wedding of Frime Chaye Rivke Shapira - daughter of the Munkatcher Rebbe Eleazer Shapira (author of Minchas Eleazer) to Rabbi Rabinowitz in March 1933. She was the mother of the present Munkatcher and Dinover Rebbes. Includes other scenes of Jewish life in Munkacs, Hungary, both of secular and religious Jews (I like the last clip in the video).

(many thanks to AJHistory by Menachem Butler, a great find)
