Notes

  • Author's note: A shtetl (Yiddish for 'little town') is a Jewish town or village of the kind that once flourished through much of Eastern Europe, especially in Poland, Lithuania and Russia. Roman Vishniak's A Vanished World is one of a number of photographic essays in book form whose images movingly document Jewish life before the Holocaust. (Infinite City, p. 103)
