"JEWS HAVE SIX SENSES
Touch, taste, sight, smell, hearing … memory. While Gentiles experience and process the world through the traditional senses, and use memory only as a second-order means of interpreting events, for Jews memory is no less primary than the prick of a pin, or its silver glimmer, or the taste of the blood it pulls from the finger. The Jew is pricked by a pin and remembers other pins. It is only by tracing the pinprick back to other pinpricks – when his mother tried to fix his sleeve while his arm was still in it, when his grandfather’s fingers fell asleep from stroking his great-grandfather’s damp forehead, when Abraham tested the knife point to be sure Isaac would feel no pain – that the Jew is able to know why it hurts.
When a Jew encounters a pin, he asks: What does it remember like?"
-- Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated

[trans: 1 week—30,000 names. The Nazis persecuted millions of people. Help remember the victims, because every name counts.]
if you do one thing this holocaust remberance day i want to recommend contributing to the international center for nazi persecution/arolsen archive’s every name counts initiative.
The documents in our archive contain information about the fates of 17.5 million people. We have already scanned them. But to make them visible in our online archive and enable people all over the world to find them there, the information they contain has to be entered into a database – and that’s where we need your help!
they present you with a scanned card that hasn’t been catalogued in the archive. you enter the name, birthdate, and other information so they can now be searchable in their database.
i just finished filling one out for riwka genik, a jewish holocaust survivor born in 1900 in romania.
i recommend this because it doesn’t involve any money and your work can mean the difference of whether someone finds their family member or not in these records.
#it’s this archive that helped me find out what happened to my grandpa and his family#so it would mean a lot to me#we remember

Why does my family cling to Israel and Israel's continued existence? Simple. You see, when we were being persecuted and killed by the Nazis, and my family was chased out and was stripped of their citizenship, they tried to go to America. Only America turned them away. They had nowhere else to go. No one would accept them. No one wanted them. You know the only place that did? Israel
#lost more than half my family#a lot of people I will never know and will never meet#this is for the “destroy Israel” and “go back to Europe” morons by the way#we remember#Israel's existence does not mean that there can't be a palestinian state ffs#for many of us diaspora jews it's literally just a safe place we know we can come back to#if you want to have a mature serious discussion with me on i/p you drop the “death to israel” nonsense and educate yourself#on the holocaust on the thousands of years of persecutions and expulsions on the many forms of antisemitism#on the actual history of israel and our indigeneity to the region - noa tishby has an excellent book on it#and only then you can come back and debate policy with me like an adult#not a child stamping their foot demanding jews die or be expelled#antisemitism#leftist antisemitism#jumblr#jewish history

Federico Garcia Lorca's last letter to his lover Juan Ramírez de Lucas, written during the Spanish Civil War. Exactly one month later, Garcia Lorca was seized by Francoists, imprisoned, and executed the next day: August 19th, 1936 — 87 years ago.
“In your letter there are things that you shouldn’t, that you can’t, think. You are worth so much, and you will be rewarded.
Think about what you can do, and let me know straight away so that I can help you in whatever way, but be very careful. I am very worried, but knowing you, I am also sure that you will overcome every obstacle because you are overflowing with enough energy, grace, and happiness, as we flamencos say, to stop a train."
(Federico García Lorca. Letter to Juan Ramírez de Lucas, July 18th, 1936)

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time when we solemnly recall one of history's darkest chapters.
I never imagined that in my lifetime, I would speak of it in present terms, witnessing a terrifying resurgence in antisemitism.
It's heartbreaking to see these sentiments justified and used to craft narratives against Jewish people, turning the world upside down in a way that defies logic and humanity.
Never did I think that in my lifetime, I would feel such a sense of unease about my home and the world at large, feeling like a target simply because of my heritage.
I don't hide who I am, but I find myself scared in situations that never used to frighten me.
As someone who teaches Hebrew and Israeli culture, I see the importance of understanding and remembering history.
My work isn't just about language and culture; it's also about fostering understanding and respect.
In these trying times, where fear and uncertainty can cloud our judgment, it’s crucial to remember the lessons of the past.
We stand together, not just as a community but as individuals who believe in a world where respect and understanding triumph over hate.
In times like these, it's vital to hold onto our values, our history, and our identity.
My mission has always been to bridge gaps through language and shared experiences, and now more than ever, I believe in the power of education and dialogue to combat ignorance and fear.
As we remember those who suffered and perished, let’s also renew our commitment to a world of understanding, safety, and peace for all.
