Forward Books co-editor Alana Newhouse (right) is joined by Daniel Treiman and Nathaniel Popper, colleagues from the English edition of The Forward, to celebrate the publication of A Living Lens, a collection of photographs depicting 20th-century Jewish life from the paper's archives, at a Sunday evening reception held at the Museum of the City of New York—which also held an exhibit based on those photographs. Former mayor Ed Koch joined the festivities, remarking that his immigrant father used to take the daily Yiddish edition of the paper, and that he himself still gets the English edition every week: "And I read it, if I may say so, religiously," he quipped. Then Pete Hamill observed that although he doesn't speak Yiddish ("except for the words everybody knows"), the paper's legacy still forms a vital part of his understanding of what it is to be a newspaperman.
