- This 400-page volume is the output of wide-ranging research on more than a century’s history of Jewish photography and photographers, in Britain but also elsewhere, and their contribution to modern culture. The research was completely original, as no one before had ever considered, or even noted, the Jewish identity and Jewishness of photography and the prevalence of Jews in this profession and art in Britain. Towards this book, a large corpus of photographs needed to be sought for and assembled. Berkowitz blends his expertise in modern Jewish history and in the history of photography as an art and a technology.
