You captured and expressed so eloquently what, once experienced, cannot be expressed in words. I left my visit at the camps in somewhat of a dissociated state, until reaching my hotel room and then just sobbing.
Like you, I am Jewish by heritage, not in practice, yet I carry that heritage inside me. I am walking this earth for the grace of God. Easily, my fate and those before me could have been otherwise, and, in 2024, can still.
Your writing gives voice to those who lost theirs, and for ALL of us, the Holocaust, slavery, forces us to courageously and compassionately look at the darkness within us - how human beings can gaze upon another human being and see something non- human is a capacity that lives in each of us.
Thank you for your writing and sharing. May we always remember and choose compassion, community, courage, and peace.
A wrenching story, maybe a work of fiction, but too real to many of us.
No. Not a work of fiction, I think.
A powerful reality instead. Even if the turbulence is in our own minds.
