    FALL 2018 EYE ON PRIVACY How views of public and private life have shifted in America I r . ::J. 1,000 WORDS ‘WE REMEMBER’ ~• John Pregulman, BA’80, has spent the past fve years taking photographs ... of Holocaust survivors. To date, he has photographed 679 survivors in 33 cities in the U.S., as well as in Krakow, Prague and Tokyo. In his Denver ofce, where he is managing partner of real estate company Robmer Partners, ►• the survivors’ photos seem to watch over him. But it is Pregulman and his t,J wife, Amy Israel Pregulman, who look out for these elders. They discovered ,, through the photo project that 30 to 35 percent of the 100,000 Holocaust • survivors in the U.S. live in poverty. “They have a lot of trauma about being recognized and asking for help,” Amy says. The Pregulmans founded a " nonproft, KAVOD—Hebrew for “dignity”—to give emergency, confdential fnancial assistance to survivors who are identifed by Jewish Family Service ofces across the U.S. Through KAVOD and the photography project, they hope that Holocaust survivors will continue to be remembered. “Their biggest fear is that they and their stories will be forgotten,” says John.
