[Rarebooks] OFFER: PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE LOST JEWS OF EUROPE.

[Laderman]

VISHNIAC, ROMAN: POLISH JEWS; A PICTORIAL RECORD 
WITH AN INTRODUCTORY ESSAY BY ABRAHAM JOSHUA 
HESCHEL.: New York, Schocken Books [1947]. Royal 
8vo, 16 [2], 21 [1]. These are the last pictures 
made of the Jews of Eastern Europe by any 
photographer. Vishniac made a 2000 mile trip 
through Eastern Europe in 1938, taking all of his 
photographs candidly, without the awareness of 
his subjects. This small selection was published 
after the destruction of all of these communities 
and their way of life in Eastern Europe. It is 
therefore an  important historic document. 
Original cloth, Fine, in a Very Good dust Jacket. 
The jacket lacks about ½ inch at the crown and no 
more than a ¼ inch at the foot of the spine. 
there is also a small lacuna on the rear board 
lower edge, about ¼ inch high and ½ inch wide. $300.00
