OK, so it’s more like next week, but I wanted to give you a heads up because this should be good.

I first learned about this documentary film last year when I interviewed Cynthia Salzman Mondell and her husband, Allen Mondell of Media Projects, Inc., who live and work right here in our neighborhood. That interview focused on their award-winning documentary "A Fair to Remember" about the Texas State Fair, but I asked them about future projects, and "The Monster Among Us" was one they mentioned. The film chronicles the rise of antisemitism in Europe, and the idea for it emerged from letters that Cynthia’s brother-in-law, whom I believe lives in New York, had received from Jewish family members living in France. Visit the home page to watch the trailer; it paints a better picture than I possibly could.
