PREVIEW OF EVENTS

Sunday, January 19

NEW YORK: The exhibit "A Witness to History: Yevgeny Khaldei, Soviet Photojournalist" opens at The Jewish Museum and will be on view through April 13. The exhibition includes 56 photographs by Khaldei, taken between 1941 and 1946, covering the war on the Eastern Front. An Orthodox Jew, Mr. Khaldei was born in 1917 in Stalino (now Donetsk), Ukraine. Considered to be one of the most important Soviet photojournalists of World War II, his photographs were widely circulated by the government news agency TASS, and ran in major Soviet publications. In spite of being twice purged (1948 and 1972) as a result of his being Jewish, Mr. Khaldei continued to work as a photojournalist from the 1950s until his retirement in 1991. The museum is located at 1109 Fifth Ave.
