AJL Presents: The Photographer’s Son Sunday, February 5, 2023 11:00 am PT / 2:00 pm ET / 9:00 pm Israel Time The Photo that Saved Us (Hatsilum she histil otanu) by Maya C. Klinger won the Book Prize for an Outstanding Holocaust-related Book for Children and Youth from Yad Vashem. Now translated into English, The Photographer’s Son tells the true story of the Mandil family, who lived in Yugoslavia before World War II. The book details the family's escape from the Nazis and their rescue by an Albanian Muslim family, the Vesilis. In 2004, the Vesilis were recognized by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations for saving the Mandils and other Jewish refugees during the Holocaust. Klinger-Cohen's book “conveys educational values and brings children and youth closer to the topic of the Holocaust.” The author will discuss her works as well as the role of Albanian Muslims in rescuing Jews during the Holocaust.
