Item description from seller

First edition, first printing, of perhaps the finest photographic documentary record of Jewish life in Eastern Europe in the decades leading to the Holocaust, a conscious effort to preserve a record of the communities destroyed by Nazism. The editor used photographs from the Yiddish newspaper Daily Forward, alongside photographs selected from the thousands of submissions readers sent in from their own family photographs and albums. The text is in English and Yiddish throughout. "In presenting this book to our readers we intend to give them the picture of the Jewish world in Eastern Europe as it existed during the 1920's and 1930's previous to the Second World War. This world does not exist any longer. It is a vanished world, the world of East European Jewry, that world in which for centuries the greatest concentration of Jewish people in history lived and worked. On the eve of the Second World War over seven million Jews resided in that part of Eastern Europe which was swept by Hitler's divisions in the years 1939-45. The East European period of Jewish history ended in the greatest catastrophe known to mankind" (introduction). Oblong quarto. Original red cloth, front cover lettered in gilt with pictorial onlay. Spine a little sunned, a little shaken. A very good copy.…
