Prague's Old Jewish Cemetery, a place of haunting beauty and mystery, has endured wars and pogroms, floods and fires, assimilation and an urban clearing project that destroyed most of the ancient Jewish Quarter it once served. Miraculously, it even survived the Nazi occupation and 40 years of communist neglect. HOUSE OF LIFE tells the story of the vibrant Prague Jewish community of the past and of today's small Jewish community for whom the cemetery still serves as a spiritual center. The film features the curators, historians, rabbis, guides and conservationists who are all devoted to the preservation of this unforgettable place. Claire Bloom narrates.
