Norman H. Gershman

Norman Gershman (b: 1932) is an American fine-art photographer. In 2002, Norman first heard the unique story of Albanian bravery during WWII: that the entire country, including the government, refused to collaborate with the Nazis, even while under brutal occupation. To share this story with the world, Norman established the Eye Contact Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit corporation promoting peace and unity, and serves as its Executive Director. His book of portraits of Righteous Albanians, BESA: Muslims Who Saved Jews In WWII, was published in 2008.
