A fictional account by Carole Naggar of two extraordinary parallel lives: the photographer and co-founder of Magnum, David “Chim” Seymour, and Tereska Adwentowska, the Polish girl who was the subject of one of his best-known pictures.
In September 1948, on assignment for UNICEF on the children of Europe, Chim photographed Tereska in a primary school in Warsaw. Millions saw the picture when it ran in LIFE that December and were moved by her fate: during the Wola massacre she had been wounded by shrapnel.
