Discover the colorful & lively world of 1970s Jewish life in South Beach as captured by Andy Sweet with "Shtetl in the Sun." Shtetl in the Sun celebrates the work of Andy Sweet, a dynamic young photographer in the late 1970s, and his images of Jewish life in South Beach, Florida. In the late 1970s, more than 20,000 elderly Jews, many of them New York transplants and Holocaust Survivors, called South Beach home. This area of barely two square miles had become a modern-day shtetl, reminiscent of the tightly knit, predominantly Jewish Pre-World War II Eastern European villages. The lightheartedness, bright colors, and geniality of the people Sweet photographed illustrate the ways Survivors lived full and joyful lives after the Holocaust.
