Current Long term project: WW1 Postcards
My late grandmother had a number of letters, postcards, and other correspondence from her father who had fought in the Austrian army during the First World War. The current goal is to photograph them, transcribe, and translate them as best as I am able.
The end goal of this project is to create a book with photographs, translations, and accompanying research - to this end, I plan on communicating with the American Holocaust Museum to work jointly on this project. Their resources would be invaluable in the documentation and research endeavors of this project and the correspondence would, in my opinion, be a fine addition to their collections, adding to the story of the many Jewish people that lived and fought for countries they would one day need to flee.
