Biografia breu
Lucjan Dobroszycki was born to a Jewish family in Łódź, Poland and was still a teenager when Nazi Germany invaded his homeland in World War II. He and his family were trapped in the Łódź Ghetto for four years and then deported to the extermination camp at Auschwitz, He alone survived and returned to Łódź after the war to attend the university there. He then earned undergraduate and master's degrees at the University of Leningrad and began his work as a historian. Dr. Dobroszycki's main focus throughout his career was the Nazi Occupation of Poland and the Holocaust.
His books included Image Before My Eyes: A Photographic History of Life in Poland 1864-1939 (1977), with Barbara Kirschenblatt-Gimblett; The Jews in Polish Culture (1988) with by Aleksander Hertz, Czesław Miłosz, and Richard Lourie; The Holocaust in the Soviet Union: Studies and Sources on the Destruction of the Jews in the Nazi-Occupied Territories of the USSR, 1941-1945 with Jeffrey S. Gurock; Survivors of the Holocaust in Poland: A Portrait Based on Jewish Community Records 1944-1947; and his doctoral thesis, Reptile Journalism: The Official Polish Language Press Under the Nazis 1939-45, which was translated into English and published the year before his death. He served as the editor of the first English translation of The Chronicle of the Łódź Ghetto: 1941-1944 (1984), day-by-day materials assembled clandestinely by a team of the Ghetto residents, and of the diary of Dawid Sierakowiak. He was a visiting scholar in Jerusalem in June 1967, before a wave of Polish anti-Semitism caused him to emigrate with his wife and daughter to the USA in 1970. They settled in New York City, where he joined the research staff of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research and became Zborowski Professor of Interdisciplinary Holocaust Studies at Yeshiva University.

It is sad but i am not sure I can recall much of this. I saw a number of documentaries at the time, one of which featured Jerzy Kozinski and all of the details have merged and become rather murky.

This is a collection of photographs of Jewish life in Poland from photography's advent to the Second World War. While many of these photographs were saved by people fleeing the holocaust, the emphasis is not on the coming horror, but on the the daily life of ordinary Jewish people during the first half of the last century. There are many family portraits, as well as pictures of village and city life, giving a vibrant portrait of a time and place where a large minority population could live peacefully and were able to live in groups where they could live traditionally and practice their religion or to pursue modern lifestyles in cultural centers. Jewish theater and literature took off, with Yiddish newspapers and social clubs abundant in places like Warsaw.

What remains with me from the many photographs, is how the families, despite the different clothing and settings, look out at the photographers with the same pride and optimism that is visible in family portraits today. And also the enormous labor involved in keeping those white dresses and shirts clean and starched.

This account describes life in Poland both in rural and urban settings from the mid-1800's to the start of the Holocaust. It describes Jewish cultural life and the beginning of the Bund movement. The text is built around historical photographs of the time period.
