Every year, I share the memory book of the lost shtetl of Zaromb, near Treblinka. It is a haunting catalogue of horrors, compiled in 1946. One of the recurring themes of the accounts: Zarombers faced as much danger from Poles as they did from Germans.
“As we saw later, the Poles took an active part in the massacre of the Jews of Zaromb. Several days before, a number of Polish cart drivers had been given orders to be ready to transport the "Zshides" (derogatory term for Jews) of Zaromb. They kept that order secret.”

I really regret contributing to this situation. I didn’t anticipate how completely it would dominate the narrative.
"On the first night of #Hanukkah, #Jewish families gathered in #Sydney to celebrate. Instead of #candlelightings and #latkes, they were met with #gunfire from two armed #terrorists. At least a dozen Jewish #Australians, including a #Holocaust survivor, were murdered, and the first candle of Hanukkah was lit in grief.
Almost immediately, however, the focus of the public conversation began to drift.
Rather than centering the #victims or grappling with what it means for #Jews to be targeted at a Jewish #celebration, much of the discourse has fixated on a different element of the attack, one that, while important, should not be the story itself."

Halfway through this latest Radiant Others #klezmer #podcast episode interviewing Zisl Slepovitch & Stephen Naron about their work selecting, arranging, performing and recording music and poems found in the #holocaust survivor and witness testimony at the Fortunoff Video Archive. I have one of the CDs in this series but didn't know all this about how they came to exist. Often these songs were collectively composed in WWII labour camps and recalled by a single survivor.

3/ Im #Osten haben das alle in der Schule gelernt. Die #Frühlingssonate von Willy Bredel wurde in der 9. Klasse behandelt und alle Ossis hatten dieselben Lehrbücher und denselben Lehrplan.
Ich habe die entsprechenden Auszüge aus der Frühlingssonate in meinem Blog-Post zum Umgang mit dem #Holocaust in der DDR veröffentlicht.

Der Ossi und der Holocaust - So isser, der Ossi
Es wird immer wieder, auch von Ossis, behauptet, der Holocaust wäre im Osten nicht thematisiert worden. Das ist falsch, wie ich hier ausführlich zeige.Stefan (So isser, der Ossi)
