(JTA) — Steven Spielberg has launched a film foundation called Jewish Story Partners to fund documentaries that "tell stories about a diverse spectrum of Jewish experiences, histories, and cultures."

It's funded by the Righteous Persons Foundation, which Spielberg and his actress wife Kate Capshaw founded after Spielberg's experience making "Schindler's List" in 1993. Two Jewish philanthropies — the Maimonides Fund and the Jim Joseph Foundation — also contributed funds. (Both organizations also help fund 70 Faces Media, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency's parent company.)

"We are especially proud to help establish this initiative — which will make visible a fuller range of Jewish voices, identities, experiences, and perspectives — at a time when social divisions run painfully deep and mainstream depictions too often fail to reflect the Jewish community in all its complexity," Spielberg and Capshaw said in a statement Thursday announcing the foundation.

The organization, which starts with $2 million, will soon announce its first round of grantees, who will receive $500,000 in total this year. It is already taking applications for a second round of grants and says it hopes to ramp up its funding over time.

The project's director is Roberta Grossman, a filmmaker who has specialized in Jewish-themed documentaries. Caroline Libresco, a longtime Sundance Film Festival programmer, will be its artistic director. And "Friends" creator Marta Kauffman is a board member.

"I'm looking forward to helping create a stable and lasting funding organization that can fill the funding gap for independent filmmakers who want to tell a Jewish story," Kauffman said in a statement.

Spielberg's Righteous Persons Foundation has funded a range of Jewish initiatives beyond the film world, including the USC Shoah Foundation, which has created an archive of recorded Holocaust survivor testimonies.

Spielberg is also a recent recipient of the Genesis Prize, nicknamed the "Jewish Nobel," which is given to "extraordinary individuals for their outstanding professional achievement, contribution to humanity, and commitment to Jewish values." He said he will donate his $1 million prize earnings along with $1 million of his own to 10 different organizations fighting for racial and economic justice.

Jews ONLY care about Jews.

A lesson that Gentile parents have ALWAYS needed to teach their children.

Except at least 50% of them are moron Christians who go along with the "if you want to go to Heaven, you have to support Israel".

Oh, look...wonder if this is one of Stevie's "jewish-themed documentaries."

(JTA) — Two of the world's most famous Nazi hunters, Serge and Beate Klarsfeld, are getting the documentary treatment.

Alexander Nanau, a Romanian filmmaker whose documentary "Collective" is up for both best documentary and best foreign film at this year's Oscars on Sunday, will executive produce a film about the Klarsfelds, who have exposed Nazis around the world for decades.

"It has been a huge privilege to have gained the trust and cooperation of Beate and Serge to document their extraordinary lives both past and present," co-director Mike Lerner said in a statement Monday to The Hollywood Reporter.

Lerner's 2011 documentary "Hell and Back Again" about a soldier with post-traumatic stress disorder was nominated for an Oscar in 2012.

The Klarsfelds have brought several prominent Nazis and French Vichy collaborators to justice, including the infamous Gestapo officer Klaus Barbie.

When the World realizes that Israel did 9-11, they may also realize that the good guys did not win World War 2.

Adolf Hitler made a terrible blunder invading some of his neighbors, attempting to re-claim disputed territories in the late 1930's.

Imagine if Germany had just stopped that, and just sat there and made stuff ... being one of the world's largest industrial economies.

They fixed their economy, the Weimar hyperinflation situation, by expelling the Jews.

That was an example that could not be allowed to stand.

Hitler was a smart guy.  Can't help but wonder if he was tricked into some of those military excursions, maybe comparable to how the US tricked Saddam Hussein into invading Kuwait.
