Before dinner book & libation. #porchlife
In Mark Twain‘s biography by Ron Chernov, the author gives extensive attention & coverage to Twain‘s eight months in Vienna.
I had no idea that 20,000 Jewish refugees from Vienna traveled to Shanghai to escape the Nazis.But in 1941 the Nazi‘s arrived in the face of the notorious Colonial Josef Meisinger, the “Butcher of Warsaw.”His ideas for the solution of the “Jewish problem” scandalized the Japanese, despite the fact that they committed atrocities themselves. Instead they created a 3/4 square mile ghetto fie the Jews,where they were starved & exposed to typhoid.
Beautiful tribute to these children, their parents who sent them to safety, & those in Britain who took them into their homes.
My library hold came in today. Sadly enough Ruth Hargrove wrote this in 2020 during the first Trump administration. She was trying to stop deportations of some Cameroonians because they would probably be killed” if returned to their country in the midst of a brutal evil conflict”(8). #ranttime
pick“Every witness is unique,a living protest of sorts against the abject annihilation of the memory of his assassinated Jewish neighbors”(145).Why have I read this month 3 books addressing the holocaust,1 through a photograph,a 2nd,historical fiction following a real child,& this one, through bullets? I think I am seeing so many parallels to our president‘s attempt to turn this country into a dictatorship-I need the concrete.#MondayMood 🤬😡😢😭
Father Patrick Desbois‘s passionate commitment to honoring the 1.5 million Jews who died by bullets.
Early morning coffee, a book & my snuggly cats. What a satisfying way to start my day. ☕️📙😻😻
