At one time or another, we think about the world long gone and, all platitudes aside, try to grasp its mystery, to understand what keeps it alive in our imagination. We hunt for old photos, at times paying outrageous prices for a chance to own a tiny piece of history. We look at people whose names and fates will always remain unknown. We study images of muddy streets with houses that looks like shacks and shacks that look like... We all imagine this world differently, and images help us.

So, this is The Shtetl According to Boris.
