The North American debut of a photography exhibit on Jerusalem has opened at The Breman in Atlanta and will continue through March 2025.

“JerusaLENS: The World Photographs Jerusalem”​​ is the result of a global photography contest held in 2017 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Six-Day War in 1967. More than 14,500 photos were submitted from 84 countries, whittled down to the top 95 images.

Photographers displayed in the exhibit hail from the United States, Italy, South Africa, Norway, the Philippines and Israel.

The photographs were first exhibited in June 2017 at the Ammunition Hill, a national site to commemorate the 182 Israeli soldiers who died during the Six-Day War while fighting Jordanian forces stationed there.

Located in Midtown Atlanta, The Breman is a nonprofit multidisciplinary center with four focuses: exhibitions, arts and cultural programming, archives, and Holocaust education.
