I shared it with an architect friend whose folks were Holocaust survivors. So much depth in these images...

A little personal share... my dad passed away last Spring, and in processing his death and reciting the prayers at minyan I’ve developed a much deeper feeling/tenderness for the millions that we lost in the Shoah and through the ages... more in my heart ... so looking at and reading about these photos feels more profound than it would’ve even a year ago.
