Photos
Although many more photos were almost certainly lost to us during the Holocaust, we do still have a rich collection of pictorial documentation of Bais Yaakov. The photos on these pages give us a glimpse into life as a Bais Yaakov student or teacher in interwar Europe, Mandatory Palestine, Israel, North America, and even Shanghai.
