“Documenting the Second Generation: Daughters of Holocaust Survivors”

Statement “Documenting the Second Generation: Daughters of Holocaust Survivors” “Fascism poses a more serious threat now than at any time since the end of World War II.” Madeleine Albright, April 6, 2018 “The New York Times” This ongoing series is about the connection of the women in these portraits to their parents, Holocaust survivors. We are living in a time reminiscent of pre-war Germany. This may sound inconceivable, but that is what most people in Germany and Europe said too. The women in these photographs are contemporary, modern women here in America. To them, the Holocaust is not something old from a history book it is alive and visceral. I want you to see them in the same way. This photographic series combines contemporary studio portraits with landscapes which I photographed in Europe and personal photographs from their family collections to portray the story of the past and the present.
