Award-winning Out of Exile – the Photography of Fred Stein is the tale of a man caught up in one of history’s darkest moments. The Nazi menace thrust Fred Stein into a life of exile: in 1930s Paris; across the war-torn French countryside; and in 1940s New York. Always full of belief in the human spirit, his answer was to create thousands of brilliant photographs, an art that transcends bigotry.

“I first met Fred when we were both refugees fighting the totalitarian Nazi regime... In his time he was very much in the avant garde, a brilliant photographer inspired by his quest for justice and his concern for truth so clearly reflected in his photographs. He truly was a man of vision, and his choice of people and subjects is an obvious proof of it.”
— Willy Brandt, Chancellor of Germany
