Product Description
The extraordinary experiences of ordinary peopletheir suffering and their unimaginable braveryare the subject of Judy Glickman Lauders remarkable photographs. Beyond the Shadows responds to the mass murder of Jews during the Holocaust while telling the uplifting story of how the citizens and leadership of Denmark under occupation and at tremendous risk defied the Third Reich to transport the countrys Jews to safety in Sweden. Over the past thirty years Glickman Lauder has captured the intensity of the death camps in Germany Poland and Czechoslovakia in dark and expressive photographs telling of a world turned upside down. In contrast the redemptive and uplifting story of the Danish exception is told through portraits of Danish Jewish survivors and Danish rescuers. Over the course of a few intense weeks in 1943 the vast majority of Denmarks Jewish population seven thousand people along with nearly seven hundred nonJewish spouses were hidden in boats and carried across the resund to safety in Sweden. Denmark is the only nation in Western Europe that can claim the rescue of its Jewish population from the Holocaust. With texts by Holocaust scholars Michael Berenbaum and Judith S. Goldstein recollections by Danish Jewish survivors and a previously unpublished text by Elie Wiesel written in response to this body of work Beyond the Shadows demonstrates passionately what hate can lead to and what can be done to stand in its path.show more
