In 1984 Laurence Salzmann, an American photographer, and his wife Ayse Gürsan-Salzmann, a Turkısh- born anthropologist, were invited by the Beth Hatefotsoth Museum of Tel Aviv to do a photo-documantation of Jewish monuments throughout Turkey.
...monuments of a people who were welcomed by Sultan Beyazıt II to the lands Ottoman Empire, now the Republic of Turkey, following their expulsion from Spain in 1492.

But monuments could tell only a partial story; so, the Salzmanns ezpanded their photo project to include an indepth photographic portrait of the Jews of Turkey, numbering 22,000 people, and a film that explores the ways in which h,the Jews had become a favored ethnic group among a largey Muslim population.

The film entitled: Turkey's Sephardim: 500 Years tells the story of Turkey's Sephardic Jews. The photographs have been organized into a traveling show entitled: Anyos Munchos i Buenos / Celebrating 500 Years of Sephardim in Turkey: 1492-1992.
