Rediscovering traces of memory

Since the Holocaust, traces of memory are virtually all that remain in Poland today of more than 800 years of Jewish life there. This album offers a sensitive way of looking at that past. This much-updated edition of a ground-breaking book expands the broad coverage of its stimulating approach. With forty-five new photographs and accompanying essays, it convincingly demonstrates the complexity of the Jewish past in Polish Galicia and the attempts to memorialize its heritage, as well as the unexpected revival of Jewish life.
