"The extraordinary experiences of ordinary people-their suffering and their

unimaginable bravery-are the subject of Judy Glickman Lauder's remarkable

photographs.

Beyond the Shadows

responds to the world's looking the other way

as the Nazis took power and their hate-fueled nationalism steadily turned to mass

murder. In the context of the horror of the Holocaust, it also tells the uplifting story

of how the citizens and leadership of Denmark, under occupation and at tremendous

risk to themselves, defied the Third Reich to transport the country's Jews to safety

in Sweden. Over the past thirty years, Glickman Lauder has captured the intensity

of death camps in Germany, Poland, and Czechoslovakia, in dark and expressive

photographs, telling of a world turned upside down, and, in contrast, the redemptive

and uplifting story of the ""Danish exception."" Including texts by Holocaust scholars

Michael Berenbaum and Judith S. Goldstein, and a previously unpublished original

text by survivor Elie Wiesel,

Beyond the Shadows

demonstrates passionately what hate

can lead to, and what can be done to stand in its path.

""This is photography and storytelling for our times, about what hate leads to, and how we can stand up to it. Beyond the Shadows is powerful and revealing, and sharply relevant to all of us who believe in the human family.""

- Sir Elton John"
