"Are there videos/films of the sources of these dances "

I read about a really interesting archive of Polish Jewish music and dances 
that was created by Jacek Luminski, from fieldwork he did in Poland with 
survivors in the 1970's and 1980's I think.  According to an article about 
him that was recently published in Jerusalem Report (Nov 2002), there are 
150 items in Jacek's collection, but it's a private collection, and he uses 
the items as a jumping off point for his choreographic work in modern dance.

It would be nice if some day some of this material could be made available 
for others to view.  If anyone wants to read the article, I can send it to 
you.

Helen
