Annotation

This extraordinary volume features classic, historic photographs of the type that are now associated with the Forward-Lower East Side pushcarts, Yiddish theatre, worker rallies-along with gems no one would expect. The premiere American Jewish newspaper has opened up its never-before-seen archives, revealing a photographic landscape of Jews in the twentieth century and beyond. From shtetl beauty contests and matchmakers caught mid-deal to the streets of the New World; from diaspora communities and Mandate Palestine to the Holocaust, the Soviet Jewry movement, and the emergence of Jewish suburbia; from Paul Muni and Barbara Streisand to Woody Allen and Madonna - this book is a kaleidoscopic array of modern Jewish life.
