In 1995 Mikael Levin retraced his father's 1945 journey through war torn Europe, photographing the urban centers, landscapes and concentration camps as they contrasted to those witnessed by his father, Meyer Levin, fifty years previously.

War Story assembles those photographs together with his father's description of that jouney as it appeared in his autobiography In Search.

The book also includes a selection of photographs by French photographer Eric Schwab, who journeyed with Meyer Levin. Those images were rediscoured by Mikael Levin in the course of producing this project.

A sequence of 34 photographs taken in the early 1980's, drifting on a pristine waterway in Sweden.

Intrduction by Andy Grundberg.

An artist's book on the theme of dislocation; places, lives that are out of place. Two sequences of images by Mikael Levin. Two texts by Gabriel Levin.
