ja oder nein?


ja oder nein?

i think the question mom was answering was: would you allow your child to marry a partner from another culture? (photo taken at the juedisches museum berlin).

i was particularly moved by the story of eric schwab, a french photographer who went camp to camp at the close of WWII to capture the joy of liberation - and to find his mother. he did find her - at theresienstadt.

also inspiring: glikl bas judah, born in the mid-1600s in hamburg and a 17th-century version of a supermom.
