My first published writing on the Holocaust was 47 years ago today on the Columbia Missourian front page. I was 23. I'm including snapshots of my parents from our July 1977 Israel trip, the focus of my piece. Tonight begins Yom HaShoah, the day on which we remember the tragedy that made me who I am.

1/3 To honor my father's birthday of March 31, 1914, here's a previously unshown photo I shot in May 1984. We were in the Soviet Union for my 1985 Philadelphia Inquirer Magazine cover story "Journey To My Father's Holocaust," when we encountered this man near the Adam Mickiewicz monument in Lvov >>
