October 9 is Romania's national day of commemorating the Holocaust, as October 1941 marked the beginning of mass deportations of Jews and Roma to Transnistria. It always reminds me of Norman Manea's autobiographic stories from October, 8 O'Clock, originally p. in Romanian in 1981

When ALH asked me to write a review of Konrad Bercovici’s The Algonquin Roundtable, I was so grateful for the opportunity to revisit his works. Getting to be in NYC and see the Algonquin Hotel as I was finishing the review was an unexpected bonus. https://t.co/Zf8bM6x0no

Dana Mihăilescu considers the history and memory of the fusgeyer movement, in which large numbers of impoverished, persecuted Jews suddenly decided to “go on foot” towards the U.S. and Canada.
