Browsing Through Birkes Trailer .mp4

By szifra@alum (1)

This is a trailer for the movie, Browsing Through Birke's, a poignant yet humorous film about my parents who survived the Holocaust, their perseverance, and success in the landmark clothing store they ran for 50 years in Lowell, Massachusetts.

My [...]dad was like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld --only about clothing. He posted a giant NO BROWSING sign, the first thing customers saw when they entered. Think of the first Marshall’s, but with a Goodwill décor and Lenny Bruce for an owner, yet with a wife who was sweet and friendly, --and who fed you cookies while you shopped!

It was produced and directed by Steven Grossman. Eric Sack produced this trailer with clips from the film.
