I was born in Czechoslovakia to parents who survived the

Holocaust. My parents had less than half a dozen photos

left after World War II. That fact had a strong impact on

my life.

Photos are a vital documentation of our experiences, our

culture, our history and most importantly our memories.

Ever since I came to America in 1958, I have been

intrigued by the capturing of memories and moments in

time on film. 

Freezing images in an artistic and expressive way,

recording and preserving memories, telling a story and

sharing it with others; all of these are a deep passion of

mine. Beauty is all around me waiting to be captured.

Translating this beauty into an image brings me much

fulfillment and satisfaction. 

As a result of what happened to the Jewish people in the

past decades, I feel challenged to show others who my

people are – their culture, their religion, their expressions.

I deeply love the land of Israel and look for ways to

present both ancient and modern images. Through the

years, I have been fortunate to share my passion with

young people. Our travels to Israel and Poland allowed us

to photograph our experiences and create our own

memories. My own travels to the Soviet Union, Europe,

China, Brazil, Lebanon and of course the United States and

Israel has allowed me to do what I love best: share

moments in time.
