history: The Cinema Judaica Collection consists of more than 1,200 objects relating to films about World War II and the Holocaust as well as Jewish, Israeli, and biblical subjects, from 1923 to 2000, from the United States, Europe, Israel, Canada, Mexico, and Argentina. The collection was amassed by film memorabilia collector Ken Sutak, to document Holocaust-and Jewish-themed movies of the World War II era and the postwar years. The collection includes posters, lobby and photo cards, scene stills, pressbooks, trade ads, programs, magazines, books, VHS tapes, DVDS, and 78 rpm records. Sutak organized these materials into two groups, “Cinema Judaica: The War Years, 1939–1949” and “Cinema Judaica: The Epic Cycle, 1950–1972” and, in conjunction with the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Museum (now the Dr. Bernard Heller Museum in New York), organized exhibitions on these two themes in 2007 and 2008. Sutak subsequently authored companion books with the same titles.
history: The lobby cards were donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2018 by Ken Sutak and Sherri Venokur.

scope and content: Set of seven lobby cards for the film, “The Search,” released in the United States in March 1948. The film won the Academy Award for Best Story, and was nominated for Best Actor, Director, and Screenplay, while actor Ivan Jandl also won a special Academy Award for outstanding juvenile performance. The film is centered on a Czechoslovakian mother and her young son, who were separated while imprisoned at Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland. After the war, the mother searches for her son in displaced persons (DP) camps, while he is being cared for by two American soldiers. “The Search” was partially filmed in the American zone of Germany, the first American film to be made on-location in post-war Western Europe. The children in the DP camp scenes were played by real-life wards of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), making the trauma and devastation depicted on screen genuine and authentic. This object is one of more than 1,200 objects in the Cinema Judaica Collection of materials related to films about World War II and the Holocaust as well as Jewish, Israeli, and biblical themes.
