Carved Memories: Heritage in Stone from the Russian Jewish Pale.

Author:
Curator: Introduction by Robert Pinsky.
Publisher: Rizzoli International.
Date of publ.:
Details: cm.26x30, pp.168 ill.a colori. legatura editoriale copertina figurata.

Abstract: For more than a century, Russian Jews were restricted to residence in the western provinces of Russia, the so-called Pale of Settlement. In this fascinating volume, 125 duotone photographs document the carved tombstones of this region, specifically present-day Ukraine and Moldova. The stones are poignant memorials to the lost world of the shtetl and practically all that remain of a major Jewish art tradition. They are also unique genealogical records for Americans descended from Russian Jewry. The photographs, made by the artist and photographer David Goberman from the 1930s through the 1960s, are in many cases the sole documentation of tombstones that have been effaced or destroyed.
