Hundreds of photographic illustrated plates by Roman Vishniac and numerous other photographers, depicting Jewish life in Central and Eastern Europe just prior to the Holocaust. Text and captions in English and Yiddish.

“In presenting this book to our readers we intend to give them the picture of the Jewish world in Eastern Europe as it existed during the 1920’s and 1930’s, previous to the Second World War. This world does not exist any longer. It is a vanished world.” (Introduction).
