Israel, 1951. First child born in the settlement of Alma. David Seymour’s nephew, Ben Shneiderman, writes: “The joyous feelings for this first newborn in the settlement of Alma (established by a group of Italian converts to Judaism) in 1951 must have been especially strong in young Israel. Israel was itself a newborn nation, still recovering from the trauma of World War II... The white dress for daughter Miriam echoes the whitewashed new buildings behind her and the billowing clouds above. Viewers of this photo can easily assume that Chim was equally proud of the youthful spirit of Israel”. (Photo by David Seymour/Magnum Photos)
