Passover NYT Article...

I'm not Jewish but I found this article profoundly moving. The ingenuity necessary to survive the experience notwithstanding, some even found ways to make matzo and keep the Passover holiday. I wish the article had been longer.

@chif - thank you so much for the link. It reminded me of my grandparents' stories (all 4 of them were Holocaust survivors), although they never shared much (I think the first time I got my Gran to talk to me about it was when I was about 16). And I know what you're saying - it almost felt like the article was cut short. Thanks again!

chif,

you might like to read the book she mentions in the article, in memory's kitchen.


@chiff0nade, thanks so much for posting this. I will definitely read excerpts from the article at my seder next year.

Thanks cybercita! I'll look for it next time I'm in a book store :D

Thank you for sharing this article chiffonade! Definitely a perspective I never thought about...it's amazing that even in the worst of circumstances, these people remained loyal to their heritage.
