Since the Holocaust, traces of memory are virtually all that remain ofmore than 800 years of Jewish life in Poland. Yet some of that past can still befound if one knows how and where to look. In this remarkable album, 74 stunningcolor photographs bear witness to the great Jewish civilization that once flourishedhere. The images record the sites of Jewish life and death, and the ways in whichJewish culture is being remembered today. Captions and detailed notes explain andcontextualize the photographs. An invaluable sourcebook on the Jewish heritage ofPolish Galicia, this album also illustrates how photographs can help us understandthe past and discover its relevance for the present.
