Beyond the shadows - Judy Glickman Lauder

The extraordinary experiences of ordinary people-their suffering and their
unimaginable bravery-are the subject of Judy Glickman Lauder's remarkable
photographs.
Beyond the Shadows
responds to the world's looking the other way
as the Nazis took power and their hate-fueled nationalism steadily turned to mass
murder. In the context of the horror of the Holocaust, it also tells the uplifting story
of how the citizens and leadership of Denmark, under occupation and at tremendous
risk to themselves, defied the Third Reich to transport the country's Jews to safety
in Sweden. Over the past thirty years, Glickman Lauder has captured the intensity
of death camps in Germany, Poland, and Czechoslovakia, in dark and expressive
photographs, telling of a world turned upside down, and, in contrast, the redemptive
and uplifting story of the "Danish exception." Including texts by Holocaust scholars
Michael Berenbaum and Judith S. Goldstein, and a previously unpublished original
text by survivor Elie Wiesel,
Beyond the Shadows
demonstrates passionately what hate
can lead to, and what can be done to stand in its path.


"This is photography and storytelling for our times, about what hate leads to, and how we can stand up to it. Beyond the Shadows is powerful and revealing, and sharply relevant to all of us who believe in the human family."
- Sir Elton John
