Beyond the Forest is a collection of fine-art black-and-white and color photographs that document the Jewish presence in contemporary Poland and Ukraine. Kantor, an Israeli-American photographer, turned a journey to discover the world of her ancestors into a broader engagement with the daily life of Jews of Eastern Europe in the early 21st century. Beyond the Forest is a photographic monograph hardcover in 185 pages with ninety-eight illustrations; introduction by art historian and curator Anda Rottenberg, illustrated essay by Loli Kantor, and Afterword by Jewish-American novelist Joseph Skibell.
Beyond the Forest is the second book in an ongoing series Exploring Jewish Arts and Culture, published by the University of Texas Press, edited by Prof. Robert H. Abzug, Director of the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.
