David Seymour-Chim, (1911-1956)
Coming from Poland, the Yiddish journalism of my parents, (Samuel L. Shneiderman (1906-1996) and Eileen Shneiderman (1908-2004), in France, Spain, and then New York, had great impact as did the photojournalism of my legendary uncle (David Seymour-Chim, 1911-1956, Home page) in the turbulent times leading up to World War II. Then coming to North America, they resumed their work in new surroundings with new languages. Inspired by their examples, I became a computer scientist and technology innovator, shaping widely used commercial products, even as I moved to Vancouver.
