Synagogue on D-Day[edit]

Original - A synagogue on West Twenty-Third Street in New York City remained open 24 hours on D-Day for special services and prayer.
Reason
The Library of Congress has several photographs from houses of worship on D-Day. The sign above the entrance on this example makes the occasion unmistakable. There's something in the faces of these three people; an understated image. Restored version of File:Synagogue D-Day.jpg.

  • Support - historically significant, EV, great quality. —Vanderdeckenξφ 12:22, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support The photo lacks visual impact, but it is very interesting and meets the FPC. Nick-D (talk) 23:45, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose more or less per Nick-D. This photo just doesn't seem terribly compelling visually to me. Calliopejen1 (talk) 15:24, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Calliopejen1. -- matt3591 TC 20:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral Interesting photo, but I'm not convinced of its EV. Makeemlighter (talk) 06:20, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: I'm also not convinced of its EV and the sign making it "unmistakable" is a drawback, in my opinion. Maedin\talk 12:28, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. It's a useful contribution to the articles it's in, and an interesting (if not particularly compelling, composition-wise) shot.--ragesoss (talk) 03:16, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
