Summary/Abstract: “Chwila” was one of the most prominent Jewish dailies published in Lwów in inter-war Poland. The “Dodatek Ilustrowany” supplement, issued in the first half of the 1930s, showed a number of interesting photographs featuring a great variety of themes. The presented article deals with a part of that collection – photographs of Jewish themes, including assorted street scenes and numerous likenesses of the Jewish district in Lwów. The authors were predominantly almost totally unknown local photographers, whose majority died during the Second World War. Apart from an analysis of the photographs and conclusions drawn from them, the article contains information about the authors, successfully collected despite considerable gaps in archival documentation concerning the titular theme.
