Cheers, Michiel Fokkema 2010/1/4 Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> > One of the images that is included in the FOM II project is this portrait > from 2001 of my uncle Joseph Weismann from Le Mans: > http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/20.jpg > > He still lives in Le Mans, still plays boulles and still enjoys the good > things in life. One of his principal activities in retirement is to be > there > for his family, and to speak about the Holocaust and his own experiences as > a survivor to groups, especially children, around France. He was arrested > in > 1942 along with all other Parisian Jews, separated from his parents and > sisters (all of whom perished in Auschwitz), fled the camp with another > 11-year old boy and thus avoided deportation to Poland, and spent the rest > of the war being hidden by people in the Loire valley, where he settled > after the war. > > Now a film with a fairly significant budget (?20M or something like that) > has been made about his story: > http://www.larafle-lefilm.com/ > > It will be out in March. No idea about releases in non-French language > markets, but I am sure they will happen. > > Nathan > > Nathan Wajsman > Alicante, Spain > http://www.frozenlight.eu > http://www.greatpix.eu > http://www.nathanfoto.com > > Books: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/search?search=wajsman&x=0&y=0 > PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws > Blog: http://www.fotocycle.dk/blog > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > -- -------------------------------------------- Fokkema Fotografie www.michielfokkema.com michiel.fokkema at wanadoo.nl GSM:+31 (0) 615569576
