Her passion for the subject would lead to a Kosovar refugee camp in Albania, and to Japan to meet survivors of the Hiroshima atomic bombing. She has created a photo exhibit of images from 12 conflicts.
In Northern Ireland, she photographed a former bomber-turned-peace activist, and a woman who lost her husband to the sectarian violence who offered Roth an insight.
“She said, 'I bet you find women are the same everywhere.' And so I learned a lot from my subjects, because I thought, 'Wow, she's really right,' Roth said. And I think the constants are the absolute fundamentals of life. It's keeping home and hearth and keeping children healthy and safe, keeping families together.”
From the Balkans to Pakistan and Southeast Asia, Roth has shown the scars of war, including victims and survivors of the Khmer Rouge brutality in Cambodia and Vietnamese children born with birth defects caused by the defoliant Agent Orange. She also shows the grief of an American mother holding a portrait of her son, a Marine who died in Iraq.
Roth says that amid the sadness, the character of the survivors has impressed her.
“That the human spirit is pretty remarkable and that in spite of war and madness and destruction, that people get on with their lives,” she said.
Roth's most recent work has again taken her halfway around the world, this time to document an endangered culture. She is publishing a book of photographs of Tibet, highlighting its Buddhist religion, its art and people.
Her exhibit, One Person Crying: Women and War, was on display recently in Oradour-sur-Glane, France, the site of a massacre by German troops during World War II. The exhibit will open in June at a veterans memorial park in the U.S. state of Wisconsin.
