Annika Hernroth-Rothstein

Writer

In 2020, Annika Hernroth-Rothstein published her first book, Exile: Portraits of the Jewish Diaspora, in which she uncovered the hidden beauty of the largely forgotten Jewish enclaves in countries ranging from Finland to Uzbekistan and Iran to Morocco. The book has been praised for bringing “brilliant life to the history, culture, and most importantly, the fascinating people the author met on her journey.” Hernroth-Rothstein describes herself as “passionate about foreign affairs, counter-terrorism and human rights issues around the globe.” She has worked as a full-time journalist since 2015, publishing her writings in several magazines and news outlets.
