[Leica] IMG: From the Holocaust (with photo link)

In the Jewish calendar, today is Tisha B'Av, the traditional day of 
mourning for catastrophes that have befallen the Jewish people. In that 
spirit, here is the last surviving piece of documentation of my 
great-grandmother Anna Vogel, who was deported from her Paris apartment 
to the transit camp at Drancy, and then to the gas chambers at Auschwitz.

Here's a picture of Anna (center), with her husband Pinchas Vogel 
(right), who died during the Nazi occupation, and a close family friend, 
"Uncle Charlie," who survived the war in America and lived to hold the 
one year-old me before he died. My first and middle names are 
Anglifications of Pinchas and Anna.
