The color photo of the 3 authors was taken for our book. In addition, on the biography photo page you will find a black and white photo with 3 persons. These are Yisroel Rubin (1937-1943), Rachel Rubin (1935-1943) and Sara Rubin (d.1943) who were killed in the Holocaust. The book Working with the Bereaved: Multiple Lenses on Loss and Mourning was dedicated to their memory.
