Vishniac’s description of this grandfather and granddaughter includes a conversation that he overheard between the two about the difficulty of finding work and the ongoing struggle to make a living during the Polish antisemitic boycotts. This is among Vishniac’s most celebrated and widely reproduced images, and was selected by Henri Cartier-Bresson as among his “favorites.”
