A Soldier’s Story

Close-ups of my father-in-laws WWII military keepsakes afford a remarkable perspective on memory, on military service, and on family history: a perspective that is at once intimate and monumental. The exhibition was installed at the National Museum of Jewish American History in Philadelphia, PA in 2001.
