Customer Comments

• (We) are thrilled to have a copy of the DVD for our home and family. It conveys the spirit and the beauty of the occasion in every sense, without any schmalz or excess. We enjoyed seeing the pageant over again and I must say the interviews with family members from all over Oz and around the globe remind us us what a remarkable experience was shared. Thanks so much.

• I watched the DVDs and enjoyed them thoroughly, especially the first one (historical). I think you have done a marvellous job - and I hope that DVD technology is preserved, so that our descendants may enjoy them as well!

• The first DVD was extremely interesting & highlights the huge effort & time that must have been consumed to research, prepare & film the many places that Phillip & Hannah & other early Blashki families lived. The first DVD also provided a lot of exciting history of the early days of the family & their achievements. The second DVD allowed a review of the Blashki weekend plus the interviews which was also very pleasant & rewarding to view it also allows us to relive the Main Event. We thoroughly enjoyed the interviews which illustrated just how many other Blashki family members we missed meeting in person
  Philip Blashki (Acewire - Laz line)
• From concept to research to production, it is amazing. Take a HUGE BOUQUET of flowers and a sheet of gold stars! It is excellently presented, and extremely professional-looking. WELL DONE!
  Gael Hammer
• More than the education and enjoyment of future Blashki generations, the Blashki Family DVD set is an important historical reference of the life in Jewish Australia of a couple who fled independently from Poland's anti-Semitism almost a century before the Holocaust, met in England and ended up in Australia because they caught the wrong boat. This DVD set, which revitalises and updates her (Gael Hammer's) original work, is a remarkable document of the history of a Jewish immigrant family

• Just to let you know that the DVD arrived safely and I spent an enjoyable evening watching the fantastic celebration. I (also) watched the history section with our youngest son Gideon. It was beautifully done and a wonderful way to teach family history.
