Heritage: Civilization and the Jews

Winner of the coveted Peabody Award, Heritage: Civilization and the Jews is the monumental nine-part series hosted by former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Abba Eban. This epic production from public television station Thirteen/WNET New York traces the history of the Jewish people from biblical times to the present, telling their story as part of the broader history of Western civilization. Heritage: Civilization and the Jews is a landmark, a television portrait of the Jewish experience with a scope and depth that is unlikely to ever be duplicated. Recently broadcast on national public television, the series is now available in a dramatically expanded form on DVD with an interactive DVD-ROM.
