Another WWII vet passes...

[njsteve]

My sister-in-law's father just passed away last week. An amazing man. As a fourteen year old in Austria, he escaped from the Nazis and made his way to America where he joined the US Army and was sent to the Pacific Theatre as radio specialist in Burma. He came back after the war and became a famous photographer in New York City.

Steven Speilberg interviewed him as part of the Holocaust interview project several years ago.

Here is a link to a recent article on him in the New York Times when some whacko tried to sue him to recreate his wedding after he didnt like the photos, and long after his mail order bride left him. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
