Anyos Munchos i Buenos, meaning "Good Years and Many More," in the Ladino of the Jews of Turkey tells the story of the present day Turkish Jewish Community of Turkey. The photographs are by Laurence Salzmann, with text and captions by Ayse Gürsan-Salzmann.
The Salzmanns' work in Turkey began in the summer of 1984 when at the invitation of the Head Rabbi's office of Istanbul and under the auspices of Beth Hatefutsoth Museum and the American Jewish Committee of New York, they were asked to go to Turkey to make a photographic documentation on the existing Jewish Monuments throughout the country.
What began as a three month survey developed into a multidimensional project which took five years to complete.
