JERUSALEM IN 3000 YEARS
Gidal, Nachum Tim
1999 46690 Jerusalem, a subject for photographers since the camera was invented, is a beautiful city with an intense history of complex struggles. It is both modern, with American-style malls in the western part, and ancient, with a labyrinthine Old City that is an alluring mix of middle eastern smells, sights and sounds. It is a holy place for three of the world's major religions, and yet often seems a center of fanaticism, not holiness. Even the 3000th anniversary celebration in 1996, commemorating the biblical conquest by King David, serves as a political statement, claiming the city as irrevocably Jewish. This collection of photographs ranging from the state visit of Kaiser Wilhelm, to battle pictures taken during the 1967 war, to scenes of daily life today, offers a pictorial history. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Publishers Weekly This breathtakingly beautiful photo-essay explores the image of Jerusalem as a city of peace, juxtaposing it with the bitter reality of centuries of conflict waged in the name of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths. More than 400 color and black-and-white photographs are organized around such themes as ancient sites, the medieval period, British rule, the Holocaust, immigration, the city's architecture, the Knesset (Parliament), the birth of Israel and the 1967 Six-Day War. With sections on Christian Byzantium, Jesus in Jerusalem, Islamic rule, the Intifada, the Arab and Orthodox Jewish quarters, this is a memorable cornucopia of indelible images. The text is in English, German and French. Author/photographer Gidal, born in Munich, has lived in Jerusalem since 1970 and teaches the history of visual communication at Hebrew University.

JEWS IN GERMANY: FROM ROMAN TIMES TO THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC
Gidal, Nachum Tim
1998 40113 The book takes us through the centuries and the turbulent history of a people, who usually had to endure a life of anguish and persecution, and yet who as the author writes, experienced the zenith of their history -- in the opinion of many Jews - in that same Germany during the Weimar era. The author's vision was to show the Germans in illustrations - 974 of them - who the Jews who lived in Germany actually were and what role they played from the earliest times, through the Middle Agees and into the modern age! 440 memorable pages!.
