Description

New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, The Noonday Press, 1997. Second printing. Paperback. Very Good. Beautiful black & white photographs of German and Eastern European Jews in the years immediately preceding the Holocaust. Roman Vishniac, a Russian Jew, started taking photographs of village life during World War I. He later moved to Germany and witnessed Kristallnacht and the anti-Jewish legislation that allowed Hitler to declare his enemies stateless and therefore unworthy of international protection. Vishniac's photographs, only a small fraction of the 16,000 he took, show us the faces of people soon to die, a world that has vanished. His photographs are beautiful, and haunting. Book is in very good condition with some shelf wear, bumping to the edges. There is a personal inscription on the inside of the front cover and the price on the back cover is crossed out with pen. The pages are clean and binding tight.

About Trolls Treasure Pennsylvania, United States

Biblio member since 2012
Seller rating: This seller has earned a 1 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers.

Home-based, online sales only. I am running out of space to keep my collection of books, but I cannot bypass any chance offered at searching out some interesting venue offering books. I dithered for quite some time over this problem, and went right on buying books, until it occurred to me that I could make room for new purchases if I started selling some of my books. So, here I am, a small business, but offering personal service. Happy to answer questions.
