It's good to know about the 65th anniversary commemoration as well. Lodz must have many brave souls, to continue to face this history.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05624538843434297301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10197622.post-53825162993209162142009-09-20T18:00:15.230+02:002009-09-20T18:00:15.230+02:00Diane, when you scroll down there, you will see Le...Diane, when you scroll down there, you will see Leon Jakubowicz - a shoemaker testimony of Lodz's Getto, in the form of its mockup.<br /><br />Not long ago we had 65 anniversary of the tragic events: http://www.ghetto.lodz.pl/index.php/en<br /><br />...Mirek Sopekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963740104952528135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10197622.post-48794812370935881632009-09-20T14:41:46.646+02:002009-09-20T14:41:46.646+02:00I had not seen this album before even though it wa...I had not seen this album before even though it was discovered a couple of years ago. It is a huge addition to the story and, sadly, it adds a horrible dimension to my (limited) understanding of human nature. <br /><br />I didn't know who Hocker was, and in checking found that the US Holocaust Memorial Museum has this album in its collection - and a very active program. See www.ushmm.org/research/collections<br /><br />It is at least encouraging to see a serious effort focused on both remembering and on working towards change. But will we - humanity - change?<br /><br />Mirek - thanks for your post, thanks for sharing this.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05624538843434297301noreply@blogger.com
