  • Cure Grandma’s Depression By Dressing Her Up As A Superhero

    • More Photos Of Formerly Depressed Superhero Grandmother

    When French photographer Sacha Goldberger found out his 91-year-old grandmother was suffering from depression, he did  the most rational thing French photographer Sacha Goldberger could think of: he dressed his grandmother up in superhero outfits around town and took photos of her until she stopped being depressed.

    Says the ‘Mamika’ article over at My Modern Met:

    Frederika was born in Budapest 20 years before World War II. During the war, at the peril of her own life, she courageously saved the lives of ten people. When asked how, Goldberger told us “she hid the Jewish people she knew, moving them around to different places everyday.” As a survivor of Nazism and Communism, she then immigrated away from Hungary to France, forced by the Communist regime to leave her homeland illegally or face death.

    With the unexpected success of this series, titled “Mamika,” Goldberger created a MySpace page for his grandmother. She now has over 2,200 friends and receives messages like: “You’re the grandmother that I have dreamed of, would you adopt me?” and ” You made my day, I hope to be like you at your age.”

    Funny and sweet. It’s how we like to start our weekend.
