HaChayim Hayehudim Jewish photo Library has just posted several collections of Jewish Life in Australia and New Zealand including a wonderful collection of photos of the shul where I grew up, a separate collection of photos of the Holocaust Education Center which was initiated by my father, and pictures of the Library/Beit Midrash in the shul in Wellington (the Van Staveren Room).
He also has many gravestones, I even found a pictures of the graves of my Paternal grandfather and grandmother and Maternal Grandfather and grandmother.
Amazing photos, well worth a visit.
how wonderful, i am really interested to check out this collection of photos, i have a lot of friends from that part of the world.
ReplyDeleteHow odd. Since it's New Zealand you'd figure the pictures would be upsidedown...
ReplyDeleteI think the photogropher held the camera upside down to make the pictures appear the right way up :)
