Description:

the years that preceded the end of World War II, the photograph served a very important function, not only for families who were living in Europe at the time, but also for those who decided to emigrate and start new lives in the United States and elsewhere in the world. Many families went to large towns or big cities so that they could take one last photograph together before one of them emigrated. The families that had cameras, of course, could take their own photographs, and they often sent these photographs to their relatives living abroad by postal mail, accompanied by a letter, or a few words of affection written in Yiddish on the back. These photographs would often create one last visual memory that would remind the recipient, for the rest of their lives, of the years that they had spent together as a family, as for so many they would never see each other again. Visit this exhibition period of Jewish Life in Europe is presented here, in hopes of contributing in some small way: to educate and to remind everyone that such an immense tragedy must never happen again.
