A lecture on Menachem Kipnis (1878–1942), a Jewish East European ethnomusicologist, folklorist, and photographer, whose stories and photos portray record a world destroyed in the Holocaust.

Menachem Kipnis (1878-1942) was one of the early twentieth century's most popular Jewish east European ethnomusicologists, folklorists and photographers. Now, for the first time, Kipnios' stories and photographs are published together in a single book to create a sense of the world destroyed in the Holocaust.
