During the Eaton fire, Vicken Marganian lost cherished family photos when his car trunk popped open while evacuating. As the pictures flew into the air, he experienced a deep sense of loss, likening the scene to confetti at a Super Bowl. Fortunately, Claire Schwartz, a local archivist, dedicated herself to reuniting lost photos with their owners. After the fire, she utilized her skills to help Marganian and other fire victims recover their memories, demonstrating the impact of community efforts in times of crisis.
It felt like I was at the Super Bowl and the photos were like confetti, but instead of coming down, they were flying up in the air.
Before the fire, Claire Schwartz loved to find old photos for sale at the Pasadena City College flea market and would try to return them to the people who snapped the pictures.
