"When the documentary and street photographer Jill Freedman went to Poland in April 1993, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, she wrote that she made the journey as a pilgrim “to mourn the dead, to honor them,” along with the “survivors, their children, old soldiers and witnesses.” She returned to the sites of destruction again the next year after receiving a fellowship from the Alicia Patterson Foundation (APF), which supports the work of photojournalists.

Susan Chevlowe, PhD, will discuss the series of photographs that resulted from these two trips, including to additional sites in Hungary and the Czechia, and the book that Freedman had planned but that was left unrealized at the time of her death."

This is an online event that takes place on April 24 at 12pm ET. The event is free of charge. More info (and a registration link) at the link below.
