Description: Paris, Ort, 2006. 28,4x25,4 cm. 96 pp. Illustr. Fine copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. Trilingual English, French, and Yiddish. This fascinating collection of photographs documents a relatively unknown episode of Jewish history in Eastern Europe. Illustrating how the 1920s and 1930s saw the creation and development of "Jewish agricultural colonies" in the Soviet Union, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, and Romania, this history shows that the aim was to "normalize" Jews by teaching them "productive" professional skills. These recently discovered photographs offer a unique and moving insight into the Jewish experience in central and Eastern Europe before World War II. ISBN: 9782850568626
