"Image Before My Eyes," a book built around an astonishing selection of photos and linked to an even finer documentary of the same name, is a brilliantly conceived and executed introduction to the history of Polish Jewry and an extraordinarily moving monument to that community's creativity, vitality, and complexity.

A REAL PITY that this nice re-edition has been published with softcover! Besides that, the book is still the excellent collection of old, unique photos with commentaries of Jewish life on that Empire which was the JEWISH POLAND BEFORE THE HOLOCAUST!
Still worth to purchase and add to any library!!

this book is just what I expected it to be. it's a great supplement to the other books in my collection of materials I am using in my genealogy research. it has many old photographs and descriptions of life in poland when my dad was a child there.

This book explains the various Jewish societies in pre-Nazi Europe's most Jewish country. I love reading it. Although most of my ancestors are not documented in civil records I could have access to--it helps me see that my family too had a real life somewhere.
