Bearing witness: Portraits of Holocaust survivors

It was a photo shoot like few others: those posing for the camera on this day in Miami aren't fashion models, at least by trade. But they are models in their own way – models of courage, fortitude and grace, all formed in the crucible of the Holocaust.

"It is something that we carry," said 87-year-old Judy Rodan. "It is something that cannot be washed off. No pills, no treatments, no psychology or psychiatry. I think I've done it all."

Rodan was hidden at a Catholic convent in Budapest until the end of the war. "All of my immediate family were eliminated at Auschwitz," she said.
