Why is this documentary in German language ?
In the times before the Holocaust many families of the Jewish Community in Riga were well-informed about Germany, his culture and language. German was one the main languages spoken in middle-class families. Russian and Latvian were also used. So it was in the families of our both protagonists: in the shopkeepers-family Springfield and the teachers-family Bergmann.
There is a filmcopy with English subtitles available for the international audience.
