Hope in Her Hands: A Young Voice for Peace

“There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in” , Leonard Cohen, from the lyrics Anthem


I captured this moment at the pro-Palestine demonstration in Munich last May. The world bears witness as thousands of innocent lives, many of them children, are being brutally taken. I was moved by the sight of hundreds of children, Jews, and elders standing together hand in hand in the crowd. In their eyes, I saw the promise of a brighter future, a glimmer of hope. Peace to the world!
