For her series Re-unifications, Susan Silas couples images of the German Olympic Stadium, in what was West Berlin with images of the Jewish Cemetary at Weißensee, once in East Berlin.

The Helmbrechts Walk is a particularly profound set of photographs.
Helmbrechts walk, is a visual representation of the act of walking through a landscape marked by the historical specificity of the forced march of 580 Jewish women prisoners at the end of the Second World War. This book is a document of that endeavor - walking for 22 days and 225 miles in Germany and the Czech Republic on the fifty third anniversary of those events. A historically accurate reconstruction of the march route was possible with the help of the German trial transcript of Alois Dörr and historical maps housed in the New York Public Library.

Her ongoing projects Yard Bird and Bleeding Bird are also interesting.
