Movie Monday - 8/24/2020

This week, we have a bit of a theme.

Welcome to Kutsher's: The Last Catskills Resort is a documentary about the last Jewish resort in the Catskills that finally closed. It was owned by the Kutsher family for over 100 years. 

Four Seasons Lodge is a documentary about another Catskills resort that was favored by a group of Holocaust survivors.

Both places were part of the Borscht Belt, so named because the resorts were patronized mostly by Jewish-American people. They were like summer camp, but for the whole family. Sounds like a lot of fun to me. I enjoyed both films.

MK out.
