Description
Seated side by side behind an antiquated viewer, two sisters run and rerun the 35 mm black-and-white film reel, whispering to each other about the images captured by their father, the only cameraman on Omaha Beach on D-Day. Jennifer Taylor-Rossel, 66, and Patricia Spae, 65, have come to a darkened room at a National Archives facility outside Washington for the first time to look at the film, at the invitation of French documentarian Dominique Forget. Filled with emotion, Taylor-Rossel says she hadn't realized "how much he was part of D-Day" adding, "I'm kind of reaching back into history and touching that."
