"Roots" - Part 2
from Sasha Photography Podcast Hosted by Sasha Photography
My Grandfather Isaac continues to build the foundation for his life, and begins his career as a photographer. After surviving the war, he now has to learn to navigate and survive the Soviet system itself. This is Part 2; the middle of the story that is framed by two crucial journeys. The first was on a bicycle, over the dirt roads of Belarus. The second, nearly 50 years later, brought our family to America. Together with my father, Igor, we dig deep into our family history. Note: There are no photographs in our archives from my grandfather's photography project, where he photographed a quadruple-amputee nurse Hero of the Soviet Union, Zinaida Tusnolobova. However, there's quite a bit of information online about her. There's also a small museum in Polotsk that appears to contain photos and artifacts from her life. Could my grandfather's photographs be hanging on those walls? http://tusnolobova.polotsk.museum.by/node/633 http://pravotnosheniya.info/Istoriya-trudnogo-schastya-poteryav-na-fronte-ruki-i-nogi-Zinaida-Tusnolobova-sumela-postroit-semyu-i-virastit-detey-3761.html
