  2. "Source," Erna Rosenstein, 1965.

    Painter, poet, and Holocaust survivor Rosenstein (1913-2004) had a highly individual style of art that combined elements of Surrealism, Abstraction, the Young Poland movement, Symbolism, and the Grupa Krakowska. In other words, she's very much her own style

    This was painted at a time when she was very interested in the four traditional elements (earth, air, fire, and water) and while it's hard to be sure exactly what she was aiming at here, it's thought that it's meant to be a depiction of the primal source of all life and matter. Some point to the ochre parts and say they're like lava flow....but I see some shapes that might be animals. Maybe both?

    Whatever it means, it's all good...Rosenstein remains a respected and collected artist to this day.

  3. "Fountain of Fire and SIlence," Erna Rosenstein, 1982.

    Rosenstein (1913-2004) was Polish-Jewish and also a Holocaust survivor. She witnessed her parents being murdered by the Nazis when they attempted to escape the Lviv Ghetto, but Erna herself survived by hiding under various aliases until the war was over.

    Both a painter and a writer, and a significant figure in the Surrealist movement, she was a leader of the Krakow Group, a modernist artists' collective, before and after the war.

    Rosenstein's work reflected her times; in the late 60s, when Poland was in the grip of a anti-Semitic fervor, her work reflected that. Here she reflects the turbulence of Poland in the midst of the Solidarity struggle that would eventually topple the corrupt totalitarian regime. Against a background that resembles granite, some sketchy lines suggest a fountain of fire, or perhaps an erupting volcano.

  8. Never have these words been more relevant!
    - Indifference is the symbol of evil. We must take a stand. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

  9. “What’s happening in Gaza is a Holocaust”

    “and what is currently being designed by the Israeli government is the final solution to the Palestinian problem. As a holocaust survivor, my reaction is not in my name”...

  10. The new process has created a bottleneck for agencies such as #NASA that seek to award #grants. #HHS, for instance, is waiting for the federal govt to post at least 30 planned #funding opportunities that encompass tens of millions of dollars in congressionally appropriated funds for #health & #ElderCare initiatives — including $8 million for #HolocaustSurvivor support & $6 million for #Alzheimer’s #caregiver assistance — risking their expiration within the fiscal year.

  13. Part III - Over the next 3 years, with the help of the Red Cross, Nassy was provided with art supplies, allowing him to create more than 200 paintings + drawings that would depict life in the camps.
    Liberated in 1945, Nassy passed away in 1976

  14. Part II - She feared her #painting would bring about her demise, but instead her talent caught the attention of SS Dr Josef Mengele. Dina was asked by Mengele to create #portraits of #Romani prisoners, thinking that her #paintings would better portray skin color differences than a photo could. She agreed under the condition that her mother remain in the camp with her. Her bravery would save both the women's lives.

  15. Putain le mec, quel courage, quelle force (et quelle humilité aussi: écoutez jusqu'à la fin) Avant de se lancer dans sa réponse, il prend une grande respiration... La salle lui est conquise, certes, mais il prend le temps de répondre à la dame qui dénonce les bébés mis au four le 7 octobre.

  18. Lily Ebert, the Auschwitz survivor who became famous when she tried to find the family of a soldier who saved her, has died at age 100. Ms. Ebert, whose mother and two sisters died in the concentration camp, set up a TikTok account where she shared videos of her Holocaust reflections. “I would talk for my own sake, and I would also speak for those I loved who hadn’t survived,” she wrote in her memoir. “And for all the millions of people I never knew who died with them, all over Europe, I want the world to never forget this terrible crime against humanity.” Here's more from @newyorktimes.

  19. Frieda Belinfante (1904-1995) was an openly homosexual Dutch cellist & conductor of Jewish descent. During the War, Belinfante joined the same resistance movement as Willem Arondeus and other Dutch homosexuals & artists specializing in forging false identity papers & helping those wanted by the Gestapo into hiding. Belinfonte aided in organizing the 1943 bombiing of the Population Registry in Amsterdam. After the perpetrators were turned in by an unknown informant Belinfante fled Holland, dressed as a man, through Belgium & France to Switzerland. Once the war ended she was able to continue her musical career.

  21. #Happy #Hitler 's #Suicide #day !

    It should be a day of #celebration for all people with hearts and minds.

    In #memory of all who died and suffered. For all who lost loved ones. For all who survived but where broken and lived and suffered on.

    For all who helped people that needed help – for all who fought and cared.

    Dictatorships are possible when enough people decide to be a part of them.

  22. CW: Holocaust Remembrance Day

    Today, January 27, we remember the victims of the Holocaust. It was on this day in 1945 that Auschwitz death camp was liberated. Additional death camps were freed throughout March and April.

    Six million Jews (two thirds of Europe’s Jewish population) and millions of others (like Roma, disabled people, and LGBTQ people) were murdered by the Nazis. Generations continue to suffer from the trauma and loss.

    May we recognize, learn, and prevent this from ever happening again. Visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum at www.ushmm.org for resources and to donate to the cause.
