Most people's concept of European Jewry starts from the Holocaust . . .

. . . These extraordinary photos are from the 1920's and show what life was like for the Jews of Poland.

Many more photos take by Photographer: Alter Katzizne.

In the 1924 Lublin picture - "Giving a hint"

Cute little kids! They definitely wanted to be doing something else. Universal child's express of "Can I go play now?".

And that's what makes me different than the Nazis . . . I see cute little souls.

Thank you for this.

My grandparents came here from Krakow (Austria-Hungary then) Odessa, and Ekaterinoslav (now Dnipro)
at the end of the 19th century. Some of the men remind me of my paternal grandfather.
