About This Item
Simon & Schuster, 1983. 3rd Printing. Soft cover. Fine. Fine or better copy of 3rd printing according to number line. Completely crisp, intact and unmarked. 288 pages illustrated with black-and-white, and color photographs and reproductions of paintings and maps. Czechoslovak State Jewish Museum in Prague is a unique repository of historic artifacts, artistic rarities, and cultural memories. These objects document the vitality and significance of Czech Jewry, which has flourished for a for a millennium at the crossroads of East and West and is the oldest continuous Jewish community in Europe. One hundred fifty-three local Jewish communities in Bohemia and Moravia were devestated during the Holocaust, and thus the Prague Museum bears eloquent testimony to a world virtually snuffed out just one generation ago. This book brings to American audiences their first glimpse of this extraordinary collection of Judaica in conjunction with an exhibition that is touring our nation's major museums under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution Travelling Exhibition Service
