My Holocaust project began as a means to heal after the tragic and sudden death of my 28-year-old daughter, Miya. The project developed into a life’s mission for me. I owe my sanity to the camaraderie and deep connections that I made with the holocaust survivors that I photographed. Why survivors? I needed to relate to people who had experienced the magnitude of loss I felt. I needed to hear from people that, years later, their loss is not “lost.” I needed to have a purpose to get up everyday and do something worthwhile.
Documenting portraits of survivors to allow the world to remember years after their generation is gone is my contribution.
My first book, Living Witnesses: Faces of the Holocaust, had a profound impact on my community. I realized that I had discovered something that I could do to “make a difference.” I decided to continue my quest and I am embarking on an even more expansive project to include survivors in Europe, Canada, and the U.S.
I funded the first book of Detroit area survivors and all the profits from the book are earmarked for those survivors in need.
I am now affiliated with Kadima, a non-profit Jewish organization that assists adults who are emotionally and mentally challenged. They provide homes, activities, and support to those people who would otherwise struggle.
I am looking for sponsorship for this next project. Any and all financial support is appreciated. To Donate, make checks payable to Kadima and mail to 2518 Pontiac Drive, Sylvan Lake, MI 48320. Please reference "Living Witnesses" in the memo
