I've been quite obsessed lately with these photographs by
Weegee of the Jewish community in New York in 1945. I think they are so
completely wonderful and full culture. These photographs preserve and celebrate
Judaism and Jewishness at a time when it was otherwise so deeply
threatened and devastated.
