Also in Julien Bryan Collection
In the 1930s, the American filmmaker Julien Bryan chronicled life in Poland and Nazi Germany. When Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, Bryan risked his life to record the ferocious siege of Warsaw, “People might not believe my story if I told it in words when I returned to America. Everyone would believe my pictures.” Bryan embraced this philosophy throughout his career by aiming to further world understanding through documentary films. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum acquired the Julien Bryan Collection in 2003. As an archival consultant and film researcher in the 1980s, Raye Farr, the founding director of the Museum’s Steven Spielberg Film and Video Archive, rediscovered Julien Bryan’s film heritage and brought some of his extraordinary images to the attention of the documentary film community. Over the next decade, she worked closely with Julien’s son, Sam Bryan, the Executive Director of the International Film Foundation, and former Museum Archivist, Regina Longo, to assess and inventory the collection, particularly focusing on the original materials covering Poland and Nazi Germany. Sam Bryan officially donated his father’s rich body of works related to World War II to the Museum in 2003. Since then, the Museum’s Film and Video Archive, Archives, Photo Archives, and Conservation departments have worked diligently to preserve and further document the collection. Together, we have truly rescued Julien Bryan’s film from the dustbin of history and are able to shed new light on the experience of people struggling to defend themselves from Nazi persecution and to rebuild their countries and their lives. The film portion includes 141 reels of motion picture film, including the most pristine version of the documentary Siege.
