\”My work was driven by a sense of imminent loss,\” writes Frédéric Brenner in the introduction to his new book, \”Diaspora: Homelands in Exile.\” \”Two thousand years of history were about to vanish. I felt a desire and a responsibility to document these permutations of survival in exile before they disappeared…. As I began my journey, I realized how much loss had already taken place.\”
