..December 2014.. ..New York..
I received the sad news that Mrs. Lieselotte Jakob passed away earlier this year. Mrs. Jakob was one of the Dresden fire bombing survivors I photographed during my first trip to Dresden.
When I returned to Dresden with the From Above exhibition in 2011 she told me that the venue, where the exhibition was held in, was one of the places she and her family had slept in the night after the destruction of Dresden on February 13th, 1945.
I consider myself lucky to have spent time with Mrs. Jakob. She is missed. It was an honor to have known her.
