Rare Photo Book of the last few years in the late 1930’s of candid Jewish life in Eastern Europe before the systematic killing of all these people by the Germans and their very willing helpers throughout Europe. Anti-Jewish attitudes had already reached dangerous levels throughout the 1930’s, gaining momentum, month by month. The USA had slammed its immigration gates in the 1920’s till the end of WW2, only letting a trickle of Jews in compared to the 1900-1914 period. Palestine, under British control, let few Jews into the Holy Land, a destination many of the Jews pictured by Visniac longed to find refuge from the coming catastrophe in Europe. This never used, 1st Edition new old stock book has 158 pages, mostly photographs. There’s a sense of cherishing moments, a sort of marking time before a war where, instead of focusing on soldiers fighting soldiers, there was a concerted effort to wipe out civilians, as if it was a longterm goal that Europeans harbored, just waiting to accomplish
