Edward Serotta's meticulous research and impassioned writing matches the warm, informal documentary quality of his photographs. What Roman Vishniac did in illuminating the vanished world of East European Jewry before the Holocaust, Serotta's book will in its turn do for the living, breathing contemporary history of the Jews. . . - Cornell Capa
