In der schönen Synagoge von Urspringen las ich gestern nicht nur aus #ImWindderFreiheit, sondern auch aus meinem Beitrag zu den #Stolpertexten , den ich seinerzeit for das @lbinyc schrieb, und in dem ich die Geschichte der Bamberger jüdischen Familie Kuhn erzähle.
ALT Fotomix: das Innere der Synagoge von Urspringen, Zuhörer(innen) in Mänteln und Jacken, entzündete Kerzen, Tanja Kinkel beim Vorlesen.

To understand Anne Frank’s family, often seen as a Frankfurt family that fled to Amsterdam, one must look deeper at her “annecestors”. In this talk, Karen Franklin @lbinyc explores their history—& a shocking discovery from 600 years before Anne’s murder. bit.ly/44aP4r1

The Walter and Hedwig Grossman Collection @lbinyc features features a rich collection of travel photographs, including several folders of photographs from ski trips in the 1930s. These were likely taken by Walter Grossman & show scenic landscapes, relaxing moments at lodges, and winter sport outings.

When @amos_guiora saw the email drop into his inbox he had no idea what to make of it. He didn’t recognize the sender, but the subject line startled him: Schlomo Nathan Goldberg, the name of his paternal grandfather who perished in Auschwitz in 1944.
The message came from an amateur genealogist who was volunteering with the Looted Books Project, a joint initiative of @JewishGen's Kalikow Genealogy Center at @MJHnews and the @lbinyc.
Guiora is now eagerly awaiting the arrival of four volumes of Talmudic text, all of which bear his grandfather’s name in Hebrew and are being dispatched at the expense of the German government.
“To call it overwhelming is the mother of all understatements,” Guiora told Jewish Insider.

Do listen to this extraordinary story of Carola Trier. I very much enjoyed participating in the podcast.
#EXILE with @PatinkinMandy is BACK! Episode 1 of season 4 tells the story of Carola Trier: a struggling Jewish dancer who survived Nazi-occupied France and personal tragedy to become an early adopter and eventual icon of Pilates in the U.S.
