Leitz's "Freedom Train"

[KoNickon]

Interesting article here by Herbert Keppler about how E. Leitz helped its Jewish employees get to America: http://www.popphoto.com/blogsandcolumns/2429/speaking-frankly.html

I've read a few articles about it now. I would be highly appreciative if a good writer, who actually knows photography, were to produce a book on it.

No, I mean I want a book. If he comes out with one, that would be cool, but I just want someone to do all the hard work to put the story together so I can be a slug reading it on a beach while sipping a beer 😀

I think there is a storie here with several different twist which could be very interesting. You have a world class business, a family who helps during one of the darkest parts of our history, a greedy someone who let the daughter go. No disrespect to HK, but you need someone to dig up all aspects, not just the photograpy side.

Very cool article, thanks!
