Dan Oren's "Joining The Club: A History of Jews and Yale" has been hailed as "marvelous, . . . based on broad and deep research," sophisticated in its analysis and gracious in its style. The same can be said of "The Wedding Photo," a compelling work of family history. I loved Oren’s latest book. Extraordinary research, aided by new technology and by real people. Lucid writer. Useful to those who want to find out about their own families and moving as a series of wonderful stories.
​--Daniel Horowitz, Mary Huggins Gamble Professor of American Studies Emeritus,Smith College

​What makes this book so very original, and perhaps unique, is that through the lens of genealogy, Oren addresses the mystery of what became of living individuals whom time's memory has lost. This book brings the living in touch with those who are gone, and will inspire its readers to turn to their own histories
​--Kaja Finkler, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, University of North Carolina
