Chasing portraits / director, Elizabeth Rynecki. - 1 videodisc (78 min.) : sound, color ; 4 3/4 in.

Moshe Rynecki (1881-1943) was a prolific Warsaw-based artist who painted scenes of the Polish-Jewish community until he was murdered at Majdanek concentration camp. After the Holocaust, Moshe's wife was only able to recover a small fraction of his work, but unbeknownst to the family, many other pieces survived. For more than a decade, his great-granddaughter Elizabeth has searched for the missing art, with remarkable and unexpected success.
