The book "Dos Shtetl" (The Village) by Zinovi Tolkatshov was printed in 1946 by the Dos Naye Lebn (New Life) press in Warsaw and Lodz.


The content of this book are scenes inspired in the writer Shalom Aleichem's characters. The twenty paintings in this book were painted before the Second World War. They were painted anew by the Jewish-Soviet painter Tolkatshov, who apparently confronted the work already done with the national catastrophe. The painter was one of those who marched with the Red Army, so he was obviously an artist identified with the Soviet State.


According to M. Mirski "Dos Shtetl by Tolkatshov is the first important artistic attention call to our national catastrophe".


This book was a gift from the great poet Wainper to Boris Rosen. Unique sample in Mexico.
