Since the start of Russia’s war of aggression, travelling in Ukraine has not become easier. Nevertheless, my wife Anna and I have been there once or twice a year, and I have continued to photograph the local Jewish heritage. A highlight of our trips was certainly the town of Iziaslav in early 2025. At the end of 2024, we also visited Kraków, and at the beginning of 2023, Budapest. All these trips together form the source material for this year’s Vanished World calendar. The print files in German and English are available for free download and can be used by anyone for non-commercial purposes.

It is a calendar for 12 months with a cover sheet in A2 size and file features as expected by most print shops. It makes sense to read the data sheets of on-line print shops and to make changes if necessary.

Where To Print?

Copy shops and on-line print shops offer economic processing of digital prints. A recommendation for Germany and Europe is https://www.wir-machen-druck.de. They print a calendar in A2 for about 10 euros. I am pleased when users share experiences with other print shops in your countries.

Be patient. These are big files in high resolution print quality and they need time to download. Try again if Dropbox is over capacity. You do not need to register to Dropbox to download the files. Mind the download button, do not use the file preview to download.

I wish you a peaceful 2026!
