Lost
Published February 02, 2003
Jan Herman is looking for a copy of the picture Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon carried with him on the Columbia. As he sadly notes, if it was an original, it's gone now. He links to two other pictures drawn by the same artist, 14-year-old Peter Ginz, before he perished in Auschwitz. If you are aware of a copy of the now lost "View From the Moon" anywhere, especially on the Internet, please let Jan know.

Thanks Bill, super helpful.
Thanks as well. I've set the drawing as my wallpaper right now and sent it to friends as well. An intimate memorial. Thanks for the sensitivity.

Hi, my name is Maureen and I am a student at Ursuine College.
I am attempting to write a play and/or book about Peter Ginz. I first heard about him when I learned at Col.Ilan Ramon took his picture with him up into space.
I was just wondering if there was anyone who had any information about him and/or knew him personally.
Any information that you could give would be most helpful and needed. You'll be helping an aspiring writer on her way!
