Description

The large-format, hardcover book includes hundreds of stunning photographs made from glass plates unearthed from a trash pile in a tenement house in a former Jewish section of Lublin, Poland. From the dirty and sometimes broken tiles emerge the faces of Jews and Poles, children and the elderly, young couples flirting, workers, athletes, dignitaries in tails, and anonymous people who posed for a camera long ago, before the war, and never dreamed that their portraits would be of interest to anyone.
