"The Last Jew in the Village" (English version)
Director: Rufat Asadov
Abandoned village. This is a village founded by mountain Jews in Azerbaijan in the 19th century. There is a Jewish cemetery near the village. An old man is working at the grave. He is watering a sapling and wiping the grave-stone. This is Meyer. He is the only Jew who stays in the village. There are his father's house, a small plot of earth and a household... He knows everything about this village. He remembers the persecution of the rabbinate in Soviet time, and the troubles of the 1941-1945 wartime, and the post-War years. He is a real living history of this village, and the only nexus between the Past of this Jewish village and the Present time. His parents and his wife and his neighbours as well are buried in this cemetery. He is all time looking after the graves, for they are not to be overgrown with weed and the grave-stones are not to be destroyed... He knows the life story of every Jew buried here indeed!

I used to see a Jewish Doctor several years ago. He was the kindest most humble, and caring man that I have ever known! My respects and admiration for the Jewish people.

WOW, I stubbled upon this video after watching world travels by Drew Binsky (thanks Drew for your work).
I can't imagine living alone in a village with no one around. Bless this man's courage.
