Shtetl in the Sun
Andy Sweet's South Beach 1977–1980
Brett Sokol
Discover the vibrant and thriving Jewish community of 1970s South Beach through stunning photographs capturing daily life, beach strolling, klezmer dancing, and more. Shtetl in the Sun features previously unseen photos by American photographer Andy Sweet, showcasing the largely elderly population of New York transplants and Holocaust survivors who made up half the town's population. With a foreword by Miami arts journalist Brett Sokol and an introductory essay by bestselling author Lauren Groff, this book is an ode to a once-vanished community.

If you get a chance watch the documentary about photographer Andy Sweet on Netflix, the Last Resort. His book Shetl in the Sun is also highly recommended. – source
