“People of a Thousand Towns” This poignant and historical catalogue of photographs is a must see, if you are interested in photographs of pre-World War II Eastern Europe. There are 17,000 photographs spanning the late 1800s through th early 1940s, documenting Jewish Life.

All the photographs I have seen on the website have given me more insight into Eastern Europe Jewish life, and they have moved me, in many ways. The photographs are varied, and deal with all facets of Jewish life and culture, traditions, employment, celebrations, shtetl life, etc.

Take a look at “Women in Communal Towns“.

The catalogue of “People of a Thousand Towns“: The Online Catalog of Photographs of Jewish Life in Prewar Eastern Europe is compelling, and it is an incredible historical look at Jewish life before World War II.
