Review Quotes:
"This is, to my knowledge, the most comprehensive, most broadly based, and likely the most useful and accessible book on Jewish photography. Well written, richly illustrated, and intelligently and comprehensively constructed and edited, it is extremely important to the field of Jewish studies but also serves as a model for anyone who wishes to engage with photographic material." - Ellen Smith, Brandeis University
