Atlas map pamięci/ The Atlas of Memory Maps, issued in Lublin, Poland this year as a catalogue of an exhibit bearing the same title. The Atlas features more than 150 amazing memory maps created by Jews and non-Jews who tried to depict their pre-war hometowns. Every page is a constellation of languages, perspectives, memories, and, most of all, emotions.

Amazing map of the Polish town of Goniądz drawn from memory by Mr. Tuvia Ivri (Yevreyski). The map, created in the early 1960s and captioned in Yiddish, shows the town as it looked and felt in the interwar period.
