BITOLA JEWS THROUGH THE PHOTOBODY OF THE JANAKI BROTHERS AND MILTON MANAKI

Summary/Abstract: The Jewish-themed photographs made by the Yanaki and Milton Manaki brothers, present a chronicle of tempestuous times which abounded with significant events both for Jewish history and Macedonian history. They are testimonies and registrars of historical events from the period of the Young Turk Revolution, the Balkan wars, World War I, the inter-war years and World War II. The extraordinary portrait and group photographs which at the time were esteemed by the individuals, families and friends of the Jewish community, today are considered to be invaluable both for the history of the Republic of Macedonia and for the history of the Jewish community in the Republic of Macedonia. These photographs originating from a remarkable visual documenting photographic source start a totally new chapter to study our history, giving testimony of life and cohabitation of the Jewish population in the town of Bitola and the Jewish community in Bitola, which unfortunately, does not exist any longer.
