The copyright is owned by Mara Vishniac Kohn, heir to Roman Vishniac. I, (Rmrfstar), am attempting to get in contact with her to request a release of some of her father's photos under a free license, but she is quite busy. All photographs of his are owned by her, so no free alternatives could be found. As a temporary solution (hopefully), this photo was found at http://museum.icp.org/museum/exhibitions/eugenics/intro4.html, using only a Google image search. It is of low-resolution and should not damage the value of the actual work significantly, yet is crucial to an article about the photographer as it pictures his daughter in a circumstance relevant to the author's religious and philosophical beliefs.
