The 80 year-old photos were recovered in 2017 and were taken with a Leica I\, the camera that changed photography by popularizing SLR film and compact cameras.\nstart-date: 2018-11-17\nstart time: 07:00 PM\nend date: 2018-11-17\nend time: 09:30 PM\nall-day event:\nrecurring event: No\nErwin Schwager photographed the pictures in this exhibit in his early 20s before he emigrated to the US on October 26\,1938 at the age of 24.  He arrived in the US just three days before Kristallnacht.  When Erwin was in his late seventies\, he translated his family’s letters from the “onion-skin” copies his family used with their typewriters to share their correspondence.  Over three years\, Erwin alone wrote over 150 letters and other family members produced similar volumes.    \nMr. Schwager had lived a beautiful life as a young German.  He enjoyed foreign travel\, hiking\, skiing\, sailing\, ice skating\, horseback riding\, and bicycling.  Erwin was also an avid photographer\, performed in local piano concerts\, and was a gold medal winning distance runner. \nErwin raised his children to believe that it was wrong to blame Germans\, born after the war\, for the crimes and wrongdoings of the 1930’s and the Holocaust.  Instead of leading a life full of bitterness for his many great losses\, Erwin was a grateful person who relished life and appreciated its simple pleasures.  He was also a hard working provider\, a devoted father and husband and a model American citizen.\nevent organizer: Gary J Schwager\nevent website: https://www.facebook.com/events/272657230101401/\nevent cost: Free \n
