A Glimpse Of Normal Before Tragedy Strikes
This may seem like an average picture of a loving mother or relative holding their baby, but the history behind this picture makes it incredibly eerie to look at. The woman in this photo is Hedda Nussbaum, who was friends with Joel Steinberg in the 1980s. Steinberg adopted the girl in this photo, Lisa Steinberg, through illegal means, and she met a tragic end just six years later. The adoptive father beat the young girl to death when she was six years old. This photo shows how convincingly normal people can look from the outside when, in reality, their lives are filled with turmoil and abuse.
