"Rechov HaYehudim B'Vilna." Photos by Moshe Raviv-Vorobeichic, Zurich - Leipzig 1931
The Jewish Street in Vilna. Published by Orell Füssli, Zurich-Leipzig 1931. Hebrew and German.
65 pictures by Moshe Raviv-Vorobeichic describing the atmosphere in the Jewish Ghetto with light and shadow, geometric shapes and low camera angles. Preface by Zalman Shneur.
Shneur writes in his preface: "The reader will find in this Jewish street remnants of the Middle Ages. These mysterious shadowy alleys, the mezuzot about to fall, the gates with their openings...the courtyard of the synagogues with "kloizen" and the batei medrash and the bitter faces of the men and women, old and young....this is not an aesthetic for enthusiasts...but bread for everybody who is hungry... a source of joy for fathers and sons. A practical book for researchers. An abundance of ethnographic material. Examples of Jewish grandeur and a key to presenting sites from Jewish life."
Some color peeling, stains.
