Scope and content
The Rozalimas Photograph Series includes two photographs, both with particulary Jewish themes, with one depicting a Hebrew school class photograph and the other depticting a Haesharah organization group photograph.
The chaotic pattern in Eastern Europe and nearby regions in the first half of the 20th century – mostly as a result of the two World Wars – consisted of sporadic occupation, independence, and reoccupation of territories. Following the same pattern as many shtetlach in Eastern Europe, particularly in Lithuania, Rozalimas was part of the Russian Empire until the First World War when it was occupied by Bolsheviks. In the interwar years, the town was part of the Independent Republic of Lithuania, which was disrupted by Soviet invasion in 1940, and once again by Nazi invasion in 1941 at the start of the Second World War when Soviets and Nazis declared war. This ended in massacre of the majority of the remaining Jewish population. [Source: https://archive.org/details/nybc314248/page/n270/mode/2up].
The town of Rozalimas is named as such in Lithuanian, as Rozalin in Russian and Polish, and as Rozalye in Yiddish.
This Series was originally donated to the SAJBOD Archives by Savoy Cohen.
