Europe and the Middle East through the Lens of David "Chim" Seymour

About

Photojournalist David "Chim" Seymour (1911-1956) was a leading contributor to human-interest reportage of the mid-20th century, documenting the turmoil of war across Europe and the Middle East and conveying hope for a peaceful future. Earlier this year Chim's nephew, Ben Shneiderman, built upon the David "Chim" Seymour photograph collection at the Library of Congress by donating an additional 173 of his uncle's pictures. Shneiderman will give a special talk about the collection, which now features Chim's behind-the-scenes photography of Vatican City in 1948 along with new pictures of the orphaned children of Europe in the aftermath of World War II and the young nation of Israel in the 1950s.
