Last
Days of An Ancient Community
by Joan Roth
"
Joan Roth's photos of the Beta Israel in her book, The Jews of
Ethiopia, are not merely images of moments - they tell the whole
story of the Ethiopian Jews, their life in the villages of Northern
Ethiopia, their happiness, and their grief.
Wandering
through the pages of this book, the reader goes back in time and space
into the vanishing world of Ethiopian Jewry. One lives with them in
their simple huts, works with them in their fields, witnesses the
love flowing from parents to children, and sees the beauty of the
people and the country."
--Micha
Feldman, Former Israeli Counsel to Ethiopia and head of the Jewish
agency in Ethiopia.
