  1. Preserving D-day memories with a tattered flag

    Framework
    The assignment seemed routine — a portrait of couple for a story about personal finance. But as I was soon reminded, sometimes an interesting, if not extraordinary, story lurks just beneath the surface. Such are the regular discoveries of a...

  3. Holocaust films get personal with descendants of Nazis

    The Holocaust has long been a deep and disquieting source of material for filmmakers, especially documentarians. As firsthand accounts of World War II naturally dwindle, though, cinematic inquiries on the subject have been shifting into more personal territory, where the focus isn't factual findings but far less quantifiable matters.

  5. The jarring reality and artful beauty of photography

    I wonder if the curators of the excellent "War/Photography" show at the Annenberg Space for Photography were tempted to include Jeff Wall's "Dead Troops Talk (A Vision After an Ambush of a Red Army Patrol, Near Moqor, Afghanistan, Winter, 1986)". It certainly made a strong impression on Susan Sontag, whose book "Regarding the Pain of Others" ends with a long discussion of a work she considers "exemplary in its thoughtfulness and power."

  7. Debating FDR and the Holocaust

    It wasn't surprising that Rafael Medoff's April 7 <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-medoff-roosevelt-holocaust-20130407,0,581781.story">Op-Ed article</a> about President Franklin D. Roosevelt's private comments on Jews facing persecution in Europe drew spirited responses (though I do admit that I was a little rattled that most of the letters defended Roosevelt). We published <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/letters/la-le-0412-friday-roosevelt-jews-20130412,0,298839.story">several letters</a> Friday -- one from an American Jew who favorably compared the 32nd president's record on genocide to his successors. In response to that letter, in Saturday's <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/letters/la-le-0413-fdr-holocaust-postscript-20130413,0,2742072.story">Postscript</a>, Medoff listed several instances in which the Roosevelt administration neglected to do anything meaningful to interrupt the Holocaust -- and in ways that would not have undermined the war effort against Hitler.

  10. L.A. architecture takes the lead in Getty's new PST project

    Much of the time Los Angeles can feel like a huge, messy jigsaw puzzle, with pieces left out &mdash; a city that evolved by accident. Parts of it don't work, parts of it seem newly broken, parts are truly luminous &mdash; but hidden &mdash; and they all seem to have nothing to do with each other.

  12. The Catholic Church and Argentina

    Very few Argentines were on hand for the proceedings, for the white smoke followed by the traditional proclamation, Habemus papam &mdash; "We have a pope." But on the other side of the world, the people of Buenos Aires erupted with jubilation when they learned that the new pontiff, Pope Francis, was Argentine.
