These photos are heartbreakingly beautiful. All the more sublime when I think about my father rubbing shoulders with some of these people as a young child. I frequently wonder what it was like to grow up in Brooklyn right after the war--the Dodgers, the plane crash, summer days on Coney Island, long-lost dreams of Manhattan. I wish I could ask him...
