Biographical / Historical:
Alice Cahana (1929-2017) was a Hungarian-born painter and collagist active in Houston, Texas. Her works often comment on the Holocaust.

Born Alice Lok in Hungary, Cahana and her family were transported and incarcerated in multiple Nazi concentration camps including Auschwitz-Birkenau, Guben and Bergen-Belsen. Her father was given a fake passport by Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg and survived the war. At Auchwitz-Birkenau, Cahana and her sister created art as decoration to win a contest orchestrated by the Nazi guards. Cahana was liberated from Bergen-Belsen in 1945 and settled in Sweden to be reunited with her father. Later, she moved to Houston, Texas and studied at Rice University.

Cahana married Rabbi Moshe Cahana and had three children. She died in 2017.
Provenance:
Alice Cahana donated her papers to the Archives of American Art in 1982.

Scope and Contents:
This collection consists of 27 cubic feet of material relating to aerial reconnaissance, including the following types: aerial photography collected by Brugioni; lectures and interviews by Brugioni (on videotape); articles written by Brugioni; and the published secondary sources he collected to write those articles. The collection consists of five series.

Biographical / Historical:
Dino Brugioni (b. 1921) is the former Chief of Information at the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) National Photographic Interpretation Center (NPIC). He flew a number of reconnaissance missions during World War II over North Africa, Italy and Germany, for which he received the Purple Heart and many other citations. After the war, Brugioni received BA and MA degrees in Foreign Affairs from George Washington University. In 1948, he joined the CIA and became an expert in Soviet industries. In 1955 Brugioni was selected as a member of the newly formed NPIC that would interpret Lockheed U-2, Lockheed SR-71 (Blackbird), and satellite photography. During Brugioni's 35 year career, he helped establish imagery intelligence as an national asset to solve intelligence problems. Brugioni's aerial reconnaissance work played a major role in discerning the US/USSR bomber and missile camps during the Cold War, and provided evidence for the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War and the Yom Kippur War. After retirement, he encouraged the use of declassified photographic intelligence for historical research. Brugioni was one of the first historians to present photographic evidence of Auschwitz in the 1970s when he located film footage from a reconnaissance aircraft photographing a bombing run on a nearby Farben factory. Brugioni is also an authority on contrived or altered photography. He has written numerous books and articles on his field and received numerous citation and recommendations for his role in reconnaissance.
