REDISCOVERING TRACES OF MEMORY

Since the Holocaust, traces of memory are virtually all that remain of more than 800 years of Jewish life in Poland. Yet some of that past can still be found if one knows how and where to look. In this remarkable album, 74 stunning color photographs bear witness to the great Jewish civilization that once flourished here. The images record the sites of Jewish life and death, and the ways in which Jewish culture is being remembered today. Captions and detailed notes explain and contextualize the photographs. An invaluable sourcebook on the Jewish heritage of Polish Galicia, this album also illustrates how photographs can help us understand the past and discover its relevance for the present.

De la Holocaust, urmele memoriei sunt practic toate cele care au ramas din cei peste 800 de ani de viata evreiasca din Polonia. Cu toate acestea, o parte din acel trecut poate fi inca gasit daca se stie cum si unde sa se uite.
