The Jewish Daily Forward, still in operation digitally, was a Jewish immigrant’s main source of news, entertainment, culture and exploration in the early-20th century. Images told stories in the paper as often as the Yiddish text, and today the publication’s visual archives represent the entire scope of historic Jewish life in America – activism, culture, athletics, politics and more.
