Description
"In 1921, photographer Alter Kacyzne was commissioned by the New York Yiddish daily, the Forverts, to document images of Jewish life in the "old country." Kacyzne's assignment would become a ten-year journey across Poland - or "Poyln," as more than three million Yiddish-speaking Jews called their home - from the crowded quarters of Warsaw and Lublin to the remote towns of Husiatyn and Ostrog. His candid and intimate views of teeming village square and rustic workshops, synagogues, and spinning wheels give us a priveleged view of a world that is no more."--BOOK JACKET.
First Sentence
