Please join us for an Open House of “The Way We Looked: Photographs of Shtetl Life,” highlighting the work of famed ethnographer Shlyome-Zanvl Rappoport and photographer Solomon Iudovin.

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
From 1912 to 1914, famed ethnographer Shlyome-Zanvl Rappoport, known by his pen-name S. An-Sky, and his nephew, the photographer Solomon Iudovin, gathered materials and took photographs of Jewish daily life in pre-Revolutionary Russia’s Pale of Settlement. The photographs documented all aspects of Jewish life inside the Pale, including work, education, religious, and cultural traditions.
