Polish Jews

Below I have presented a few findings from two websites:

Polish Jewish History Museum: http://www.sztetl.org.pl/pl/image/20541/ and
its Flickr collection: http://www.flickr.com/photos/virtualshtetl/ . The idea behind both collections is to preserve facts in regard to the Jewish history in Poland. I am especially moved by all the photos documenting the lives of the Jewish community from before the second World World.

A couple of photos deposited with the Polish Jewish History Museum are presented below:
