Here you
may choose from more than one-thousand photographs of families
who lived in pre-war Europe. Such a pictorial display allows
us to not only pay tribute not only to our ancestors but also
to get a sense of the kind of lives they led. Perhaps we may
even feel a greater connection with them and develop a greater
appreciation of our collective Jewish history.
This exhibition would certainly not have been possible
without the generosity and desire of others to honor their
families and perpetuate their memory in this way.
The photographs can be searched for in two ways--either by
family surname or the town most commonly in which they lived,
but also perhaps the town or city the photograph was taken in.
Here you can search by country, then by town. The countries
associated with each town are the countries in which they are
located today, not at the time the photograph was taken. Just
click on the country of your choice, then the town or city
name, and then lastly on the family photograph(s) you wish to
see.
