Westerners often imagine Jews in Iran as a captive and oppressed community, alienated within their home nation yet restricted from leaving it. The reality is much more complex. Jews of Iran is a photographic journey through twenty-first-century Iran, providing a unique view of the country’s Jewish community in situations typically unknown to the Western world. Photojournalist Hassan Sarbakhshian spent two years living among Iran’s Jewish communities, joining them for holidays, family gatherings, and travels, and―with the help of fellow journalist Parvaneh Vahidmanesh documenting how they lived.
This book is a collection of one hundred photographs and four previously unpublished conversations I recorded with Master Shajarian over a span of fifteen years (1998–2013) in both Iran and the United States— in the cities of Tehran, Bam, Boston, New York, Fairfax VA, Washington, D.C., and Rockville MD.
"Not long ago I wished I had lived a hundred years age so i could document the era with my photographs, but now that this volume is ready for publication, my conclusion is that I was born in amazing age and I am most satisfied to have recorded some of the contemporary events."
