@PastPostcard @MirandaKeeling @ianarchiebeck I found the original French version of “He loves me, He loves me not” on Wikipedia. Perhaps your chat is saying “un peu or "a little", beaucoup or "a lot", passionnément or "passionately", à la folie or "to madness", or pas du tout or "not at all."

@PastPostcard And how much longer do we have to wait to hear a new Podcast from the Past ?

@hchesner I wanted to like your post, buts too creepy to think of Nazis carefully cataloging Hebrew bibles.

@PastPostcard They had time for orgies back then because there was no traffic on the freeway.

@Jan6LostNFound @howitworked @ClintSmithIII @roadkingrider2 Yes, gifted books aren’t free. Catalogers have to be paid to process them.

In July, a caller to @mrjamesob spoke about the Kindertransport & how his grandfather sent a series of postcards to the UK from a Nazi concentration camp. Toby Hannam tells his story on my podcast. Cheers, T

@PastPostcard @mrjamesob Yad Vashem published a book depicting postcards sent to another Kindertransport Survivor called Postcards to a Little Boy by Henry Foner - Heinz Lichtwitz. I would love to be in touch with Toby.

[Jackie Benefraim @swimjak]

@PastPostcard @mrjamesob I am a librarian and also research on Holocaust subjects. I can help Toby get those postcards translated.

@PastPostcard @unclewilco @SusieBoyt There's a movie, 33 Postcards, with Guy Pearce. It's based on postcards from a prisoner.

@ImtiazTyab Watched the clip on CBS. This was not impartial. Only one unnamed Israeli stating that Israel should wipe out Gaza. Watch this newsreel from 1/1/1948 BEFORE the Israel where Jewish Jerusalem is shelled. Both sides have suffered. https://t.co/jyUtBRoPi9

Ending my Passover posts with two haggadot printed for survivors of the Holocaust who were really celebrating their freedom at the end of WWII. #libraryhaggadah #shareyourhaggadah Association of Jewish Libraries American Jewish University - AJU

[Jackie Benefraim @swimjak]

AJU's has many Sephardic and Mizrahi haggadot. The moment I picked up the blue binding, I saw it was from the same Jewish Iraqi publisher of my father-in-law's prayer book for Rosh Ha-Shannah #libraryhaggadah Association of Jewish Libraries American Jewish University - AJU

[Jackie Benefraim @swimjak]

And perhaps on of Lilien’s students created the cover to the Survivors Talmud.

[Jackie Benefraim @swimjak]

Palm trees grace the cover of this 1973 reprint that harks back to E M Lilien’s early art of Palestine. Should have posted this on #PalmSunday #Libraryhaggadah ⁦@JewishLibraries⁩ ⁦@AmericanJewishU⁩

[Jackie Benefraim @swimjak]

Here are Lilien’s palm trees
