摘要：
A corner of the vanished world of Galician Jewry emerges from 104 postcards brought to America from Poland by the central figures of this family collection-Jacob and Matylda Schiff Sicherman. World War 1 is central to the story: Jacob served in the Austro-Hungarian army, while Matylda coped with two small children amid the uncertainties of war. Discussion of the cards' languages-German, Polish, Yiddish, and Hebrew-and analysis of their images and geography set the context. The Sicherman and Schiff families were mostly Hasidic, although some Schiffs were fervent Zionists. Education, work, and social customs are discussed as they apply to the writers. Jacob's 1917 cards record his experiences escorting deserters to their home bases in the far reaches of Austro-Hungary. In 1922, as antisemitism surged, he emigrated to America. Several years later, his wife and two daughters followed.
