Shots of history: Roman Vishniac

On the occasion of the exhibition “Journey to Italy. Discovering Jewish Cultural Heritage” the MEIS is offering a series of free events, “Shots of History” in its bookshop (Via Piangipane 81, Ferrara): lectures dedicated to the great masters of photography who, through their lenses, have captured crucial moments in Italian and international history and social change.
On December 4th at 5:30 pm, a profile will be given of Roman Vishniac, a Russian biologist and photographer whose unique photographs captured the lives of Eastern European Jews before the Holocaust.
The meetings are free and will continue into 2026.
