What is it?

Faces of Ground Zero is a photographic exhibition of emergency workers, survivors and relatives of victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks. These remarkable life-size images, as seen in the New York Times #1 bestseller One Nation, are the work of veteran LIFE photojournalist Joe McNally and were taken with the world's largest Polaroid camera. Their images, while etched with the pain of September 11, convey their unmistakable sense of resilience, and the hope and strength that embodies the spirit of America.

The exhibition and world tour are presented by TIME Magazine and sponsored by Morgan Stanley, which was the largest tenant of the World Trade Center with 3,700 people employed there.

"On September 11th, Morgan Stanley employees at the World Trade Center relied on uniformed officers and rescue workers to get them to safety," said Robert G. Scott, president of Morgan Stanley. "We are indebted to them all. This exhibit, which pays tribute to these heroes, is one way of saying thank you."
