About This Item
New York, New York: W W Norton & Co Inc, 2007. Book. New. Cloth. First Edition. Quarto. First edition, stated first printing. Cloth binding, 352 pp. illustrated throughout with black and white photographs. The premiere national Jewish newspaper Forverts, first published in 1897, here mines its rarely seen archives to reveal a pageant of international Jewish life in 531 black and white photographs. From shtetl beauty contests and matchmakers caught mid-deal in the Old Country to the Lower East Side pushcarts, Yiddish theater, and labor rallies of the New World, this is a kaleidoscopic panorama of the 20th century. Here are diaspora communities and Palestine during the British mandate; images of the Holocaust, the Soviet Jewry movement, and the emergence of Jewish suburbia; and personalities from Paul Muni and Barbra Streisand to Woody Allen and Madonna. New in new dust jacket..
