Summary: This extraordinary volume features classic photographs of the history one has learned to associate with the Forward -- Lower East Side pushcarts, Yiddish theater, labor rallies -- along with gems no one would expect. The premiere national Jewish newspaper has opened up its never-before-seen archives, revealing a photographic landscape of Jews in the twentieth century and beyond. From shtetl beauty contests and matchmakers caught mid-deal to the streets of the New World; from diaspora communities and mandate Palestine to the Holocaust, the Soviet Jewry movement, and the emergence of Jewish suburbia; from Paul Muni and Barbra Streisand to Woody Allen and Madonna -- this book is a kaleidoscopic array of modern Jewish life.
