Title:

"Jews march in Israel"

Date:
May 14, 1971

Synopsis

Silent footage of male Jews marching down a road in Israel, in what appears to be a protest of some kind. They are carrying signs written in Hebrew, some of which have photographs of different men on them. At the time this footage was shot, the Soviet Union was in the midst of an anti-Zionist campaign, resulting in the arrest and trial of many Soviet Jews. The Second Leningrad trial began in May of 1971, with one of the men on trial being Mikhail Korenblit. A protester carries a sign reading "Korenblit," making it very likely the protest is in regards to this trial.

Note:  The KTLA newsfilm collection at UCLA consists of cut and unedited stories, outtakes and fill footage, originally shot on 16mm reversal film stock with magnetic soundtrack. Some footage, particularly material not used for broadcast, may be without sound.
