OT Tuseday

Mirjam, I will set aside some quiet time today to pray along with you!

Also good luck with finding out some information about your picture.

Thank you Gemini ... all day i listened to the radio , Saw a Canadian film , about Hanna`s suitcase ... and worked over some art works that are related ... The memorial museum where to which i am connected . Lohame -Hagetaot [ Getto fighters] has a big Ceremony this evening , but i won`t go,, i have a hard time going through the halls even when i am working there . i will keep my on memorial times . mirjam

When I had the opportunity to visit Jerusalem last year my husband and I went to Yad Vashem. It was an extremely moving experience and I think one that is almost an obligation for visitors to Israel. I can only imagine how shocking it would be to have the broadcast of that ceremony interrupted by an act of terror - sadly, that may have been the terrorists intention.

It's an interesting film, Mirjam.

Eimear

Mirjam. do you have the book of Hanna's suitcasse....??

Els

Eimear Have you seen this film ? You know so many stories pile up ....and more are to be found out. mirjam

Elsje , No i don`t have the Book < i camn Ask in the Memorial Museum if they have it ,,,, i should not read too many other books , am still half way through "De Harde Kern" By Frida Vogels , who lived in the house next door to where my Uncle was hidden. mirjam

Yes I have. It was shown on TV here .....last year, if I recall correctly. I think it was interesting in two ways - the story itself and as an illustration of how small, seemingly insignificant, items can give insight into history.

When I was about 18 years old I was in the city of York, in the UK. We came upon an excavation of the Viking part of the city. I think it was probably a midden - not very glamorous! They had taken out a pile of oyster shells and it was a very strange experience to hold one and realise the person who ate the contents has perished so long ago. A simple thing, but very moving.

I can see how people can become so fascinated with the past and the attempt to put the jigsaw together.

Eimear

Eimear speaking about Digging the past ,,, it is a national thing here, Where ever they dig for building ,the law says that if they find Antiques they have to call authorities , who than come to make a survey and many time new buildings have to wait .. I saw the bag from Massada that was hand embroiderd , and had in a woman`d braid , and some Cosmetics ,, over 2000 years old....[from the Roman Siege ] .

As to the film , it was made with great sensitivity, and not too Mooshy.The facts being dramatic enough , no need to add to them. mirjam

I've never seen the movie, Mirjam. But after reading what you and Eimear have said about it, I will have to keep my eyes open for the next time it comes on TV so I can watch it.

Peace! Gemini
