In 1992 Canadian documentary filmmaker and photographer David Kaufman travelled to Poland to produce a television program about hidden child survivors of the Holocaust. A decade later, he returned to make films about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the Łódź Ghetto. Kaufman was deeply moved by the quality of Jewish material culture―the physical remnants of Jewish life―that he saw on these early visits. In 2007 he set out on the first of many trips over two decades to record images of tenements, factories, synagogues, and cemeteries that were part of everyday Jewish life in pre-Holocaust eastern Europe. He also made photos of some of the places of despair and death where Jews were killed during the war.
The Posthumous Landscape is more than an act of preserving memory. Kaufman brings his decades of documentary storytelling experience to bear, illuminating these places left behind. His photographs and accompanying texts describe a historic community that played a major role in the development of eastern European society and which left behind grand industrial complexes, urban neighbourhoods, architectural landmarks, beautiful synagogues, as well as vast cemeteries, and haunting memorials. The photographs also tell the stories of the afterlives of those places, many repurposed, some lovingly cared for by non-Jews who remember, and others slowly returning to the earth, but which are preserved in this book’s pages.
Some readers will find here names from their own family histories. All will discover a visual landscape that bears witness to the vitality and creativity of Eastern European Jewry before its destruction.
With introductory essays by political commentator Bernard Avishai and Polish journalist and heritage activist Joanna Podolska, The Posthumous Landscape is a tribute to a community that met a tragic end and a testament to how our internal landscapes are inextricably bound to the places of our past.

Acerca del autor
Kaufman’s first film was the widely distributed biography A. M. Klein: The Poet as Landscape. He subsequently spent eighteen years at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation working as a producer/director on two of its top programs, The Journal and The Fifth Estate, before moving to the independent film sector. Kaufman’s documentaries have appeared on CBC, PBS, Bravo!, and the History Channel and include feature programs about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the Klezmer music revival. His most recent film, Song of the Lodz Ghetto, is a feature length work about the Łódź Ghetto and its famous street singer, Yankele Herszkowicz, with music performed by Brave Old World.
Bernard Avishai is a well-known writer and commentator about political economy and Israeli affairs. A Guggenheim Fellow, he is the author of The Tragedy of Zionism, A New Israel, The Hebrew Republic, and Promiscuous: Portnoy’s Complaint and Our Doomed Pursuit of Happiness. He contributes regularly to The New Yorker and has written dozens of articles for Harper’s, The New York Review of Books, The Nation, and The New York Times Magazine. He is a former editor of Harvard Business Review, and International Director of Intellectual Capital at KPMG. He is a visiting professor of Government at Dartmouth College, and formerly taught at MIT, Duke, and the Hebrew University.
Joanna Podolska served from 2011 to 2024 as the director of the Marek Edelman Dialogue Center in Łódź, Poland, which is dedicated to preserving the multicultural heritage of the city with particular emphasis on its Jewish past. She is currently associated with the Institute of Contemporary Culture at the University of Łódź. Prior to 2011, she worked for eighteen years as a journalist at Gazeta Wyborcza. For three decades she has explored and promoted the rich multiethnic history of Łódź and other parts of Poland through books, articles, and exhibitions, often about significant artistic and political figures such as the writer Chava Rosenfarb, the artist Artur Szyk, the diplomat Jan Karski, and the Łódź Ghetto fighter and medical doctor Marek Edelman. Podolska is the recipient of the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Polish Rebirth, for outstanding contributions to Polish–Jewish dialogue, and the POLIN Award, for work to protect the memory of Polish Jews.

However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
