In 1924, in collaboration with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), the Soviet government offered parcels of land in the Ukraine, Belarus, and Crimea to{Ziyuantun.Com} former merchants, whose work had been outlawed under Communist rule. The JDC provided financial, legal, and agricultural support. Jewish families left the ghettos, and resettled in these new rural colonies, where they learned how to farm. In May 1927 the colonies were documented by James H. Becker of Chicago, my grandfather, who shot the 1000 feet of 16mm film that comprise this film. By 1938, more than 250,000 Soviet Jews would settle in 215 colonies, across 2.5 million acres of land. Their fate has been well documented elsewhere. This is a story of their journey back to the soil. 译文(2): 1924年，苏联政府与美国犹太人联合分配委员会(JDC)合作，在乌克兰、白俄罗斯和克里米亚向前商人提供了一些土地，这些商人的工作在共产党统治下是非法{资源屯-ziyuantun.com}。联合发展委员会提供了财政、法律和农业方面的支持。犹太家庭离开了犹太人聚居区，重新定居在这些新的农村殖民地，在那里他们学会了如何耕种。1927年5月，我的祖父，芝加哥的詹姆斯 · 贝克尔(James H. Becker)记录了这些殖民地，他拍摄了16mm 胶片的1000英尺。到1938年，超过25万苏联犹太人在215个殖民地定居，占地250万英亩。他们的命运在其他地方有详细的记录。这是一个关于它们返回土壤的故事。
