I wrote this post about one aspect of my forthcoming memoir, The Silk Factory. https://michaelmissing.wordpress.com/2023/04/25/my-father-never-told/
It's odd the things people don't talk about. #HolocaustRemembrance #generationaltrauma @serge @auschwitzmuseum

I just wrote a short ditty about why our parents are so meshugah (and why we are too).

Appalling. People who inspire or justify such acts are accountable to my eyes. They should be held as such.

On #HolocaustRemembrance Day, an appalling shooting at a #Jerusalem synagogue. 7 people praying on Shabbat killed & more injured by a terrorist. Worse— scenes of celebration.

Praying for the victims and for unequivocal condemnation from all who pledged vigilance today. #cdnpoli

If I seem angry,

Good.

That's all.

Interview with my mom about what her father (my grandfather) witnessed at a concentration camp during WW2.

An often unreported chapter in history that deserves to be more widely known.

The UN established International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27th. It is the day that the Auschwitz death camp was liberated. In #Israel Holocaust Remembrance is on a different date. It is the date of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. It is a date in which we, the Jewish people, fought back. #Holocaustremembrance #babka #mazeldon #jewniverse

On this #HolocaustMemorialDay since most countries do not have a holiday memorializing the >850,000 Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews who were stripped of their citizenship, land and homes and made into refugees at the threat of violence or death.

I am using my platform as an Ashkenazi Jew to bring attention on this tragedy on a day that at least some gentiles are paying attention.

In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27th), I am sharing this lithograph by Leo Haas, a Holocaust artist who survived Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. Originally published in a book now held by the Center for Jewish History.

Today, January 27, is International #HolocaustRemembrance Day. My great grandfather, Moshe Rynecki (1881-1943) painted this in the interwar years. This painting is missing. We only have a glass plate negative of it that was made after the war. So we know the painting exists, but not who has it. You can read about the scene here: https://rynecki.org/pierze-puch-down-feathers/ Any leads to finding the person? museum? institution? that has this painting are much appreciated. Feel free to share.
