JEWISH PLACES IN WARSAW

Jews settled in Warsaw during the 14th century, after the reign of King Kazimierz. By the late 18th century over 9 percent of the capital's inhabitants were Jewish.
By 1939 Warsaw was home to over 350,000 Jews, which constituted about 30 percent of the city's total population.
The Warsaw Jewish community was the largest in both Poland and Europe, and was the second largest in the world, behind only New York City.
Today only around 2,000 Jews live in Warsaw.

une galerie très intéressante et bien faite. Un très beau choix de photos qui fait bien ressortir l'atmosphère des lieux par des cadrages judicieux et des lumières bien réglées.
Assaf Peretz18-Feb-2007 19:03
a wonderful gallery for me not only because of the quality of the shots but also for the memories and the traces of a large Jewish community that once lived in poland.
it was so sad to see the abandoned/neglected graveyards and read the hebrew while on the other hand loving the colors and the composition.

thank you for sharing this with us.
