Chernobyl: Aftermath of the World’s Greatest Nuclear Disaster Author Michael Haritan
Monday, May 12 at 6:30 in the Community Center
Revisit the 1986 catastrophe with a timeline and personal photographs offering a rare view of not just a calamitous event, but a place and the people who once worked, resided and died--leaving behind a post-apocalyptic setting some 32 years later. Michael’s trips to Ukraine in 2016 and 2018 provided research information about the nuclear accident and the release of radioactive material still affecting the health of millions of people and the environmental impact. His book addresses the isolation and abandonment of Chernobyl with stories, interviews and images of Chernobyl survivors, victims and the babas still living there. Haritan now becomes one of the last professional photographers to document and talk about Chernobyl as it succumbs to the ravages of nature and war.
