SOPHIE SCHOLL PORTRAIT | print

This little German radical led a peaceful University group that spoke out against the Nazi’s and was arrested and executed before her 22nd birthday.

“Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did.
Stand up for what you believe in even if you are standing alone.
How can we expect fate to let a righteous cause prevail when there is hardly anyone who will give himself up individually to a righteous cause?”

The women in my “Heroes & Strangers” portrait series were selected because of their courage and bravery during World War II. There are thousands of stories like theirs; ordinary men and women being extraordinary lights during dark times.
To the faces of their rescued, they are heroes. To most of us, just generations apart, they are strangers at worst, forgotten at best.
My hope is that those who see these portraits memorize their names, know their faces, and are inspired by their stories to find courage for these present times.
