Photos by Frédéric Brenner, a French photographer best known for his opus Diaspora, the result of a 25-year search in over 40 countries to create a visual record of the Jewish Diaspora at the end of the twentieth century. Initially intending to record vanishing Jewish communities before they disappeared, the project became a probing pursuit of the multiplicity of dissonant identities of individual Jews and of the Jewish people living among the nations. As The New York Times wrote, “What he found inevitably poses the questions, what is a Jew and who, really, are “the Jews”?”
This is an incredible look into history! #Jewish #Israel
