Today is the 54th anniversary of our family arriving in Canada. We came by ship and landed at Pier 21 in Halifax. This picture of my mom and me is from her travel document that brought us to this awesome country. 🇨🇦

Great to speak this weekend at a Jewish Cultural Festival about @exodus_1968, the project I co-founded to gather the testimonies of Jews from Poland.

Heritage matters.

Today we launch #ForgottenExodus, an initiative to gather and share stories of Jews expelled from Poland amid its 1968 antisemitic purge. A powerful reminder of the dangers of hate, scapegoating and totalitarianism. Join us at: https://t.co/aRtENWs1GW.

Remember. Share. Act.

"Does that bother you, Herr Gomułka?
That I want to die here, where I was born,
That I call Poland my fate –
This is what bothers you most."

"I was as if in a fever. All the time I was thinking: ‘My God, so I’ll never return to this place. How is this possible?’ There were so many things to deal with that there was absolutely no time to think."

"Polish Jews supported Israel; Gomułka called them a “fifth column within the country” and accused them of collective disloyalty. My father lay down on the couch, turned to face the wall and continued to lie so, motionless."

"A year ago, when I left Poland, twenty-five thousand Jews were still living there. Today, as I am writing these words, half of those twenty-five thousand have left or are leaving."

"We weren’t students, we had no contacts with anyone, we just knew something was going on. I saw how people were beaten, how people ran and smelled the tear gas. My friend Asia got scared and wanted to leave."

"And when what happened, it hurt all the more. I felt disappointed, hurt. From eighty members of my family, only sixteen – one of five – had survived the Holocaust. I thought that we had paid enough. "
