YIVO

besmedresh


A new, Internet edition of YIVO's People Of A Thousand Towns, consisting of 17,000 photographs of Jewish life in Eastern Europe, is available here.  I found photos of the synagogue in Tomaszow Lubelski circa the 1920's.  This is after the family left, but it gives an idea of what their life was like, and what they left behind.  The “bes medresh" was built in the 18th century.
