My mother would have been 86 today. She was a survivor of the Auschwitz death camp and a uniquely special human being who, despite her experiences, embraced life and loved her family fiercely. We miss her a great deal. Here she is in 1951, photographed by my father.  |

Your mother was a very pretty lady. LIke Evan said, she seems to be glowing from within.

You think about the resilience of the human spirit - going through Auschwitz and still being able to smile and look beautiful. One wonders what pain she carried around inside, and how she dealt with it.

What courage she must have had!!! What a blessing that she was able to know the love of husband and children in the aftermath of a hell we can only each imagine. 🙁
Thanks for sharing that, Howard.

Beautiful, Howard. And your dad already had that photography thing down it seems. He started when he was 11 years old. He took this photo when he was 27. And she did glow from within. She had a special kind of essence. |
