Photographic Memory: A Girl Celebrates Purim
Sat, November 22, 4:00 to 5:45pm EST (4:00 to 5:45pm EST), -Abstract
The paper will focus on the Sigma Agency photograph of "A girl in a Purim costume in the colors of the Ukrainian flag dances." The paper will analyze a different history for Ukraine and Jews which is "memorized" in this image of a woman dancing on Purim. Like Esther, this woman is victorious and is a foreboding of a future victory and survival of both Ukraine and Jews.
