Livio Piatti - Schtetl Zürich - Von orthodoxen jüdischen Nachbarn - Orthodox Jewish Neighbors, Offizin Verlag, 2001, Zürich

 

Hardcover with dust jacket.

In Zurich lives one of the major Orthodox Jewish communities of faith in Central Europe. After the devastations of the Holocaust—which, between the Atlantic and Russia, only Switzerland escaped—the Jewish religious community in Zurich, with approximately 6,000 souls, counts among the most significant. For 130 years it has been an indispensable part of the city’s religious, political, and cultural life. Over the course of four generations, a rich spectrum of Jewish life and belief has developed: from liberal Judaism of Western European character to strictly observant Orthodoxy of Eastern European origin. In Zurich, perhaps a quarter of the Jews are strictly observant, and it is they who shape the outwardly visible image in the districts of Aussersihl, Wiedikon, and Enge. Through five years of intensive work and engagement, the photographer Livio Piatti has created a powerful and compelling portrait of this community of faith.
