My grandparents had a hotel
Description
This affectionate, nostalgic film recalls the Jewish family resorts that flourished in the 1930s and 40s. Built in response to restrictive policies that excluded Jews from established resorts, Monteith Inn, in the "Canadian Catskills," enabled a Jewish clientele to experience the fun of a vacation in the country. Remember the Hollywood film "Dirty Dancing"? This is the real story of such a hotel and the pleasures of a gentler era.
