Photograph from the wedding ceremony of a dynasty family from Góra Kalwaria (Hebrew: Gur, Yiddish: Ger). This is a portrait of a little girl taking part in the ceremony. It can be guessed that the girl spends her time surrounded by women, as all ceremonies, sermons, prayers or rituals are spent together, separate from the men. It is almost entirely forbidden to photograph girls and women, and especially to make these images public, so this image is unique.

Other photographs documenting this wedding: MPOLIN-M1551, MPOLIN-M1553 - MPOLIN-M1555.
