- April 19, 2022
The rescue, recovery, and eventual rebuilding that took place in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks is one of history’s most inspiring examples of resilience.
In just over a month, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum — and the world as a whole — will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the end of the rescue and recovery efforts at Ground Zero. Ahead of that May 30 milestone, we're showcasing the diverse stories and artifacts of community members who contributed to those efforts in myriad ways following 9/11. This photo blog post features a selection of powerful images captured by Andrea Booher, who documented the rescue and recovery efforts for FEMA.
