"The #Holocaust takes up a lot of space within #Jewish #film and #television, #historical or otherwise, for good reason. It was an immense tragedy on a global scale, one of the darkest hours of human #history. The stories of those who survived are undeniably compelling. And, in adapting some of these stories for the screen, they are important tools for Holocaust education and fighting #antisemitism (provided that they are done thoughtfully).

And yet, if you’re Jewish, it can be exhausting to constantly engage with this specific trauma. Sometimes you might want to learn more about different periods of history through media which reflect lesser told Jewish stories, even if some of those are traumatic, too.

If that’s you, you’re in the right place. Read on for eight #TV shows, both based on true stories and fictionalized, that center #Jews throughout various periods of history other than the Holocaust."
