We remember Greta Friedman (1924-2016)


image

Greta Friedman was born in Austria in 1924 and died in Virginia at age 92.    

Greta was working as a nurse and went out to join the V-J celebrations in 1945 in Times Square.   Then a young navy man out celebrating the news gave her the famous kiss.  It became one of the most important photos of the 20th century.
