Israel's History - a Picture a Day (Beta) |
Posted: 02 Dec 2013 04:08 AM PST
We first introduced our readers to theNarinskys' photographs in July 2013. Last week we were contacted by Laurent Phillippe who introduced us to his Jewish post card blog which contains more photos taken by the Narinsky's. We're happy to present them here and to encourage readers to visit Phillippe's site. To recap, Shlomo Narinsky was born in the Ukraine in 1885 and studied art in Moscow,
In 1932, the Narinskys opened a studio in Paris, but Shlomo was arrested when the Nazis captured France. He was later exchanged for a German spy caught in Palestine after the intercession of David Ben-Gurion and Yitzchak Ben-Zvi. The Narinskys returned to Israel, eventually moving to Haifa where Shlomo taught as a photography teacher. He died in 1960, relatively unknown. Laurent Phillippe's collection also includes many vintage postcards/photographs of Jewish life a century ago in North Africa and Europe.
