PROLOGUE - BOOK LAUNCH YOSEF WOSK
In 1932, the budding 23-year-old photographer Nachum Gidalewitsch (who would become the celebrated Israeli photographer Tim Gidal) set out from Munich to visit rela tives and document what he viewed as exotic locals in Jewish Poland. The extraordinary photographic record of that visit is presented here for the first time in book form, in a poignant remembrance of a community that had no way to know it was in its last years. Recently inducted as an Officer of The Order of Canada and described as a Renaissance man of the 21st century, YOSEF WOSK has been deeply involved in education, the arts, libraries, museums, social services, nature, heritage preser vation, religion and wide-ranging philanthropy. A rabbi and community activist, cited as a polymath and a rebel brain, he is a published author of multiple topics and styles, as well as an Adjunct Professor of Humanities at Simon Fraser Univer sity where he formerly served as Director of Interdisciplinary Programs. Besides curating exhibitions and writing essays on aesthetics, he has been collecting art for over fifty years and has one of the most significant photography collections in the province.
