Photographer Frederic Brenner has traveled for nearly two decades, photographing Jews in more than forty countries and capturing the diversity of their experiences in the Diaspora. Ten years ago in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Israel, Brenner has produced an exquisitely crafted book of black and white photographs of members of some fourteen recent immigrant families, all of whom he had previously photographed in their native countries: in Yemen, Ethiopia, Russia, Yugoslavia, United States, France, England, and India.
