Descripción:

very good dust-jacket, attractive large square gray cloth, very good copy, little used if at all. KIRSHENBLATT, MAYER / KIRSHENBLATT-GIMBLETT, BARBARA. They called me Mayer July: painted memories of a Jewish childhood in Poland before the Holocaust. Berkeley: University of California Press : Judah L. Magnes Museum, 2007, 1st printing number line ending in 1, 411pp., . The S. Mark Taper Foundation imprint in Jewish studies. - "Mayer Kirshenblatt, who was born in 1916 and left Poland for Canada in 1934, taught himself to paint at age 73. Since then, he has made it his mission to remember the world of his childhood in living color, "lest future generations know more about how Jews died than how they lived." This volume presents his paintings woven together with a narrative created from interviews that took place over forty years between Mayer and his daughter, Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett. This collaboration - a unique blend of memoir, oral history, and artistic interpretation - is simultaneously a labor of love, a tribute to an imagination, and a portrait of life in one Jewish hometown.".
