Description
"A rare glimpse into the lives of a community that has survived in Iran through thick and thin for 2,700 years, bringing together identities that are distinctively Jewish yet thoroughly Iranian." -Jim Muir, BBC Iran correspondent, 1999-2004 "This remarkable collection of photographs beautifully captures the daily life of Iranian Jews under the Islamic Republic. It shows how survival involves daily compromise, and how this dwindling community has maintained its cultural and religious identity against all odds." -Janet Afary, author of The Iranian Constitutional Revolution
