ARTIST BOOK
Loli Kantor

There Was a Forest
Jewish Life in Eastern Europe Today
Photographs, 2005 - 2008

The book presents in palladium and color the contemporary photographic documentation of Jews in Eastern Europe. Journeying in between numerous cities, central and periphery, over a span of a few years, the work conveys the revival of Jewish life and the disappearing population of Holocaust survivors in the vanishing shtetls (small towns). The bodies of works are a part of a larger ongoing project created since 2003.

Robert Azbug, historian of the Holocaust and Director of the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies, says of Kantor's process:


"Memory and hope are visible in the moving and surprising scenes of daily life among the revived Jewish communities of Poland and Ukraine. The palladium prints echo the indelible images of Roman Vishniac and other whose recording of the stetl and its inhabitants in the 1930s proved to be the final snapshot of a doomed life."
