Jews of Buchara – Five Photographs, early 20th Century
Opening: $1,800
Unsold
Five group- photos of children and adults in traditional Bucharian clothing.
Photos were probably taken by Dr. Julius (Yehuda) Brutzkus (1870-1951), researcher of Jewish life in ancient Russia, of the Jewish World Health Organization leaders. A Zionist activist and a journalist. Burtzkus assumed that the origins of East-Russian Jews go back to Jews who immigrated to Persia, Armenia, Georgia, Crimea and Kiev, areas he visited in the beginning of the 20th cent.
Attached is a booklet "Origins of Russian Jewry" by Dr. Y. Burtzkus (printout of "HaEver" about Jews and Judaism in Russia. Volume 22, Tel-Aviv, 1977). Three photos 12.5X17.5 cm, two photos 18X24 cm. Good-fair condition. Staining, creases and tears. Corner of one photo is missing.
