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."
