Archival footage of Munkács from 1933 from outtakes of the "March of Time" film series. This segment shows a massive crowd gathering before the wedding of the daughter of the Munkaczer Rebbe, Rabbi Chaim Elazar Shapira, to Rabbi Baruch Rabinowitz. Rabbi Shapira delivers a speech to the crowd and then the wedding is shown.
The footage appears as part of the exhibition "A Jewish Community in the Carpathian Mountains: The Story of Munkács" on the Yad Vashem website.
