In hundreds of photos and documents on its ~300 pages (13½ x 9¾), this book offers a glimpse at more than 100 Jewish communities in 61 shtetls of an entire country (Latvia) between the Wars. This period (1918-1940) was preceded by Czarist policies that resulted in the displacement (forced and voluntary) of some 115,000 Jews during the WWI resulting in a 66% decline of the Jewish population by the war’s end. Subsequently, a fraction of the Jews returned to the now independent Latvia. Unrestricted by the Pale of Settlement, its Jewish population grew to more than 90,000 by the time Latvia was occupied by the Soviet Union in June 1940, one year before Nazi invasion and the Holocaust. This book is a memorial to those who lived then. It evokes what could have been. It prompts one to rethink about the world that is.
