The King and the Fool  
The Yiddish Theater in Moscow blossomed during the cultural renaissance that followed the Russian Revolution.  Two multi-talented artists, Solomon Mikhoels and Benjamin Zuskin, "the king and the fool" as they were affectionately called, were the moving forces behind the theater. Following World War II, Stalin took aim at one Jewish creative talent after another, targeting both for execution. Includes excerpts from films and plays in which each performed. Produced by Beth Hatefutsoth.
