Born and raised in Russia, Vishniac moved to Germany after the Russian Revolution, then to France to escape the Nazis, and in 1940 immigrated to New York. His images of Jewish life convey the privations of discrimination and record a culture and way of life that was extinguished by the Nazis and World War II.",
