”Photos in this folder were taken during travels around Poland prior to the war. I only intended to ‘catch’ here and there the interesting and characteristic from a photographic point of view only, hence these photos are not meant to portray all aspects of Polish Jewry”.
Originally Vorobeichik planned to publish an additional series of photos but the project was not feasible since “there was a shortage of paper and bad printing conditions”.

with a poem by Avraham Broides.
Moshe Raviv-Vorobeichic (Vorobeichik) (born Moi Ver; 1904–1995) was a photographer and painter Moi Ver (Moshe Raviv) was born in 1904 in Vilnius, Lithuania as Moses Vorobeichic. He initially studied painting. In his early 20s he matriculated at the Bauhaus, taking courses with Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Josef Albers, and left from there to attend the Ecole Photo One in Paris.
In his book Moi Ver: Paris, he produced avant-garde photomontages. Originally published in 1931 by Editions Jeanne Walter with an introduction by Futurist Fernand Léger.
In 1932 Raviv was sent by the weekly Vie to Palestine as photo-reporter. Raviv illustrated many books. Raviv was a founder of the Artists’ Colony in Safed.
He adopted Zionism in 1934 and immigrated to what was then known as Palestine. Moshe Raviv-Vorobeichic (as he called himself in Israel) focus more on painting than photography and lived in Safed until his death in 1995.
