- Sonja Bullaty was born on Oct. 17, 1923 into a Jewish family living in Prague, Czechoslovakia. In 1941, she was sent, first to the Lodz Ghetto, then to Auschwitz and finally to the Gross-Rosena concentration camps. After the war, she returned to Prague where she became an assistant to the photographer Josef Sudek. In 1947 she emigrated to New York, where she met the photographer Angel Lome, whom she married in 1951. She collaborated with her husband on six books of photographs and numerous magazine articles, while also working on her own projects. In 1997 she an Angel won the Orion Society's first Olivia Ladd Gilliam Award, honoring the role of the arts in nurturing ecological awareness. She died in New York on Oct. 5, 2000--just 12 days short of her 77th birthday.

There are a few times throughout history that people will always remember exactly where they were when they heard the news. 9/11 was definitely one of those occasions. I remember being at work in the doctor office that I was working for at the time. Our switchboard operator was out sick that day. So one of our appointment schedulers, Jimmy, was working on the switchboard. The phones weren't busy yet since our day was just basically starting. Jimmy was on the phone with his wife. He looked over at me and told me that his wife just said that a plane hit one of the towers. Shortly after he completely paled as he told me that his wife said that the other tower had been hit by another plane.
At that point, everyone in the office made a mad dash to one of the doctor's offices. This doctor had a TV in his office and we all huddle around it to find out what was going on. One of my coworkers was in tears because her brother was supposed to be in the WTC that very morning making some deliveries. Of course, she couldn't reach him on the phone. So her panic started rising.
Most people that I know have some similar story of how they remember that day. My niece was woken up by her boyfriend who came by to visit. At first, she thought that he had stopped in to say Happy Birthday. In fact, he had been on his way to work and heard on the radio. He stopped in so he could see her TV. That was definitely not the birthday greeting that she expected.
No matter where you were that day, the images that were repeatedly shown over and over are forever etched in our memories.
This book attempts to replace those horrifying images with ones of the WTC at a more peaceful time. The photos in this book show the WTC at all hours of the day and from all view points. It is truly a thing of beauty.… (más)
