Old Lodz Postcard Gallery
"[Jewish
boys] for
hours...wandered through the streets of Lodz. They raced down side
streets and alleys, exulting in their freedom. They visited marketplaces
where peasants milled among their wagons, horses, cattle, swine,
poultry, sacks of grain. Jewish housewives in bonnets over shaved skulls
wandered among the wagons... Jews slapped gentile palms to seal
bargains; haggled, chewed kernels of grain."
--From
The Brothers Ashkenazi, by I. J. Singer
