You are holding a catalogue of the exhibition “Latvian Children Draw Old Synagogues”. The exhibited works disclose a small part of the world that does not exist any more. That world had been destroyed by the Nazis in Germany, Poland, Austria and some other European countries which fell victims to the Nazis military campaign against the civilized world. In Latvia the synagogues that had not been destroyed by the Nazis, serve as monuments to the almost completely annihilated Jewish community of Latvia. The children tried to visualize the pre-war setting, the buildings that had been filled with people who used to live a quiet and full-fledged life. These fantasies have merged into the thought: how all that might have been in reality. Children’s fantasies are bright and realistic, just like their own untroubled lives. At the same time, they are based on their knowledge of the Jews. Hence, the encouragement of this knowledge is the aim of both the exhibition and the contest. |

A collection of postcards “Latvian Synagogues” Riga: Shamir, 2005 |
The complete set of cards provides unique glimpse of synagogues and houses of prayer in Latvia between WWI and WWII (1918-1940). Most of the houses of worship used by the Jews of Latvia in the interwar period were constructed prior to WWI. They differed in style, from splendid synagogues in the architectural forms of Neo-Romanesque or Neo-Renaissance, to the houses of prayer often located in shabby old wooden houses, bearing witness to either the former prosperity or t the deplorable financial position of respective Jewish communities. The Holocaust reduced it all to nothing. Not only the people, but also the buildings of synagogues and houses of prayer were obliterated. Most of the latter having previously graced Latvian towns and cities, can now only be seen in photographs... |

«Latvia. Synagogues and Rabbis. 1918-1940» Riga: Shamir, 2004 |
The given book is a Monument to the Jewish communities of Latvia that had vanished form the face of the earth in the period of Holocaust of European Jewry. A brief summary of every settlement is followed by a list of the synagogues and houses of prayer of the former times. The unique collection of photographs presented in the book engraves on one's memory the image of all those destroyed buildings and makes up the nucleus of the illustrations of this edition . It is enriched with the sights of towns and boroughs / shtelts/ that impart the color of that time and environment. In the Supplement one quotes biographies and attaches portraits of the last rabbis, including such prominent ones as I. Rosin, M.S. Katz-Kagan and L. Ovchlnsky, as well as some cantors and ritual slaughterers /shochetim/. All that allows the reader to form his own notion of the persons who had been at the head of the Jewish communities of Latvia , those who used to carry on and transmit , from generation to generation, the Jewish tradition and belief, without which the Jews could not have been the Eternal Nation. |
