Checklist #98, Section 11 Children (B). Roman Vishniac, American per checklist, 16 x 11 cm. (Vishniac, 1897-1990, was born in the Russian Empire and is best known for his 1935-38 documentation of Eastern European Jewish communities on assignment for the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee; emigrated to the US in 1940 and naturalized. The checklist records him as American; the ‘Poland’ scene designation likely references his pre-war documentary work.)
