Engraved: A Family Forensics

An essay I wrote and drew for the Society for Cultural Anthropology's Visual and New Media Review, as part of a series of responses to Writing with Light Magazine's Issue No. 1: Photography & Forensics. It's about my Grandfather, David Bialer (who was forced to work as an engraver for the Nazis), his wife Bella and daughter Mira who were killed in the Holocaust, and a photograph I’ve never seen but will always remember: “a broken forensics, inadmissible in any court, engraved into my imagination.”
