Award-winning photographer and author Max Hirshfeld's compelling testament to his parents’ Holocaust-era love story — Sweet Noise: Love in Wartime [Damiani 2019] — is now available as a traveling exhibition. Hirshfeld's book imparts a sense of the fragility of life while celebrating the power of love. The presentation conveys a similar result, and by eliminating the physical barriers that traditional photographic presentations employ — frames, matting, and glazing — the hope is that the audience will come away with a heightened sense of intimacy.
