Silent Places

''These photoraphs... are physical evidence of a past that cannot be denied,'' writes Judith Miller in her introduction to this haunting collection of photos taken by Jeffrey Gusky, a doctor of emergency medicine who decided, at the age of 42, that he wanted to better confront the reality of modern Jewish history. A self-taught photographer who subsequently learned to make museum quality prints, Gusky traveled to Poland, once the home of the largest concentration of Diaspora Jews, and captured on film the austere landscapes and the remains of a once thriving Jewish culture. The result is a book that captures a poignant sense of loss-and at the same time, marks an indelible connection to the past.Gusky, Jeff is the author of 'Silent Places', published 2004 under ISBN 9781585675166 and ISBN 1585675164.
