"In October 1943, #BerlKagan, a #Lithuanian #writer and #lexicographer, escaped from the #Kovno #ghetto to the forest with his wife, Raja. “Almost every story that the #Jewish child hears about ghosts and evil spirits has to do with the forest,” #Kagan observes. “And now – now we live in the forest, now we sleep in the forest, now the forest is our protector.” There they and others are concealed by two Lithuanian peasants, Tadeusz and Barbora Pocius. Kagan’s #journal was kept on the only paper he had at his disposal, a used butcher’s copybook. Kagan wrote “between the lines, and… made it look like a #Hebrew- #Yiddish song- #book”.
In his prologue, Kagan claims he wrote most of his journal “as the events happened or immediately afterward so that as much as possible of the hot breath of the actual experience would remain”. The result is a no-nonsense account of survival in extreme circumstances and what that reveals about character."

The newest member of the #SCOTUS, #KetanjiBrownJackson, is the epitome of the #rhetorical Justice. Last week, as the Court prepared to finish its work for the year, Jackson issued a pair of dissents that signalled her despair over the Court’s trajectory, her refusal to sugarcoat its behavior, & her willingness to break with her [appeasing] #liberal colleagues, #Kagan & Sonia #Sotomayor.

In a unanimous decision by Justice Elena #Kagan, #SCOTUS held that a lawsuit by the Mexican government was barred by #US #legislation that insulates #GunMakers from #liability. #Mexico, she wrote, had not plausibly argued that American #GunManufacturers had aided & abetted in unlawful #gun sales to Mexican #DrugTraffickers.
