The album documents the state of preservation of Jewish cemeteries in Poland, providing close-ups of individual matzevahs and general views. It is a selection from an archive of black-and-white photos created over many years, showing the cemeteries left by the Jews of Poland slaughtered in the Holocaust. The photos are accompanied by excerpts of poems and biblical quotations, along with information about the subjects of the photos and the iconography of the matzevahs.
The titles of the English, German and French editions are “Time of Stones”, “Zeit der Steine” and “Les temps de pierres”, respectively. Another version, entitled “Tribe of Stones” was published in 1993. It featured a different graphic layout and was improved polygraphically.
