Dear friends

After two years of work, the largest collection of images concerning the Jewish immigration during the twentieth century are one line. A huge collection that concerns every aspect of daily life, on the five continents. Jewish-memories.com is for the public as well as for professionals and a special interface has been conceived to meet the needs of the latter. Jewish-memories.com began with the collection of Gérard Silvain who has published various remarkable books on subjects ranging from anti-Semitic postcards, to the life of the Jewish populations living in the Maghreb and of those living in Eastern Europe to the trials of jewish families of divers origins whose paths crossed on the road to exile.

Jewish-memories.com in numbers:

27 000 images, 33 000 digitalized documents from 145 countries, 400 cities world-wide and 1500 patronymics. http://www.jewish-memories.com is the world’s largest site of postcard enlargements. It works in the same manner as a genealogy search site. Research can be organized by place, by name, by event, by date, etc.

The site is growing every day and the entire stock has not yet been put on line ; each week another 500 new cards are processed and added to the data base. We recommend that internet users visit the site regularly during the first six months. If a family name, a city, a profession, etc. isn’t yet on the list, that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist, but simply that it is has not yet been processed. Don’t hesitate contacting us for questions using the dialog box available on the page corresponding to each major heading.

The time is right for the creation of jewish-memories.com

The transmission of each family’s history is suddenly illustrated and has its place in the larger story . A living memory unfolds before your eyes. From around the world, from all of the continents, concerning all aspects of jewish life – traditional celebrations, family life, Zionists posters, Bundist posters, pictures of shtetls, of ghettos, of mellahs, of synagogues, of market places ,of trades and professins, of schools, of musicians, of beggars, of ruffians, of anti-Semitic documents (for professionals only), of maccabiades ; pictures of famous writers, associations, meetings, Palestine under British mandate, Israel – an exceptional image bank of jewish life that is one of its kind, a permanent memory available to you in your own home. Bypassing the migrations, the exiles and the persecutions, it links you to your history, to your past ; it will allow you to pass on to your own children the meaning of the journey, taking the Jewish route, the path of the « Jewish nation » in exile, that comes to life under your eyes. Your forbearers, your ancestors, your grand-parents were there. The documents to which you will have access are all emotionally charged and without a doubt quite beautiful.

A vast Jewish immigration took place during the he twentieth century. It was a century of broken memories, a century filled with memories of countries abandoned, of empty homes, of suitcases packed in haste or of forced departures without baggage, without even the picture of a place or of loved ones.

From these many migrations came loss of memory for an entire generation. Orphans of memory, this generation is curious about the past in order to find the road to the future. The entire film of the Jewish saga is now on-line to help them. This generation to which nothing has been transmitted, which has no well-established memories, which faces the silence of the past or the mourning their fathers, is often obligated to create the decor for their story with a mosaic of images, pieces taken here and there, the name of a town taken from the back of a faded picture or a document to decipher that was written in another place at another time.

We shall be very pleased to find with you collaboration by the means of a mutual exchange of banner on our respective pages.
Do not hesitate to get in touch with us for all information you may need.

Thank you

Sincerely yours,
Marc Walter
