Leica and the Holocaust
I am the director of education at the Virginia Holocaust Museum. We are hoping to have an exhibit on the Leica camera and the Holocaust. Many of the photographs in our museum were taken secretly by a person using a Leica and our director's personal history involves this camera. As we research the topic we keep coming up with information about something called, "The Freedom Train" and all - and I mean all - of the sites referr back to one person. We are looking for support for the Freedom Train that does not have the same one-person site and I am wondering if any of you out there in Leica-land might be able to help me. |
