@davidthejong@HarperCollins My mother was deported from the Netherlands and put to work for Telefunken-Siemens. Is the story of that firm included in your book?
@HolocaustMuseum I personally remember Roza Maria Mazurowski who tried to hide my sisters, but was betrayed and deported to the Ravensbruck concentration camp where she barely survived typhus, one hero among who are yet to be recognized.
@CamboLivingArts@ArtsEmerson This past year I was fortunate to lend my story of survival during the Holocaust with students in the US Holocaust Memorial Museum's Art and Memory project, to use the lessons of the past to create art to bring us closer to a world free of bigotry and hate, just like BANGSOKOL.
10 July 1936 | Dutch Jewish girl Eva Minzer (or Münzer) was born at The Hague.
In February 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection together with her younger sister Liane (in the picture: Eva (left), Liane (right)).
@shannara77@AuschwitzMuseum I am Eva's surviving brother, rescued by the Madna family and their nanny Mima Saina and reunited with my mother in August 1945.
@HolocaustMuseum Except for the weapons, these pictures are so similar to the pictures drawn by children during the Holocaust... and sadly similar to pictures drawn by children in conflict after conflict since the Holocaust. I dream of a world where the laughter of children never ceases.
@HolocaustMuseum Thank you, Ruth for remembering your brother killed along with my sisters and 1.5 million other children in Auschwitz. I pray for a day when the laughter of children is never extinguished.
It does diminish the story, but while Mima was Muslim-Buddhist, there were three other religions in the Madna family while I was there, Catholic, Protestant and of course Jewish.
