Jan Yoors Books

Jan Yoors's early life was marked by a decade spent living among Romani tribes, an experience that deeply informed his artistic vision. This immersion provided him with a unique perspective on their culture and struggles, especially during the Holocaust, when he actively aided them while evading capture himself. After settling in New York, Yoors, alongside his wife and her sister, achieved international acclaim for his innovative textile art. He later turned to photography, returning to Europe to capture the resilience of Romani survivors, a powerful collection that led to exhibitions and illustrated his writings.
