The
Dokuforte Photo Archive is looking for family photo archives related to our
Jewish past, including Holocaust survivors, for digitization and publication.
The digital photo library does not keep the photos of documentary value but
returns them to their owners after digitization. The goal is to preserve, save,
and pass on to posterity at the last moment the Jewish past that appears in
photos taken with analog technology.
- Dokuforte
is not a simple photo archive among many, but a historical, family history and
cultural bridge that connects generations and talks about Jewish cultural
diversity through the timeless power of photography - Noa Schiller, founder of
Dokuforte, told our website.
She added
that her team is constantly searching for important and interesting
photographs, as this is often the last chance to ensure that the photographs
are not lost. Through the Mazsihisz website, Schiller Noa asks Jewish families
if they have old pictures in their possession, and to send those photos to her.
The images will be digitized, published on the Dokuforte website, and the paper
images or negatives will be returned to the owners.
If you
have old photos that you would like to share with the Jewish community, please
contact dokuforte@dokuforte.com.
The founder
of Dokuforte claims that "Family history is the history itself. We believe
that private photographs are an important source of history that should be
valued, preserved and shared collectively. Family photos are an essential part
of our shared history. Each of us, with our own history, must take place in
history".
