Pickpick

The book is based on a photograph brought to the Holocaust Museum in DC. There were so many important & sad points made throughout the book. There are so many people & families that were murdered that historians feel that they still don‘t have the full story. That there has been so much whitewashing & pushback on researchers. Making it difficult to access archives or digger further into the past. My grandmothers family left Poland in the early

ncsufoxes 1900s. My grandmother was born in the US but her older sister was born in Poland. My mom doesn‘t even know what village they came from. We think they possibly were somewhere near what is now Ukraine. They were Catholic & we understand that something must have prompted them to leave Poland. My mom said her grandparents never spoke English & they never discussed where they were from. I am always trying to find more answers to this puzzle. 7h
TheBookHippie I hope you find answers. This book was so good. 4h
ncsufoxes @TheBookHippie my mom has decided to take a genealogy class to see what she can learn. I‘ve also suggested that she get a copy of her mom‘s birth certificate to see if it lists where her parents were born. Her dad is from Ireland & she had requested a copy of his birth certificate from Ireland (her, my sisters & I are working on our dual citizenship). She knows she has family in Ireland but she wonders if anyone survived in Poland. 4h
TheBookHippie @ncsufoxes hardly any Jewish people did, I heard Catholics were lost in big numbers too -but I can‘t recollect if was from hiding Jews or just resisting in general, or both. It will be interesting what she learns. 4h

TieDyeDude He is so sad and bored that he has to read from a prepared speech. You can see him perk up when he goes off-script and call America the “hottest country.“ 🤣🤣🤣 12h

Rousseau addressed the paradox of his position as a novelist in two prefaces, which explained that novels were bad in themselves because they caused corruption, yet salutary in that they could inspire virtue among those already trapped in a corrupt society.

He also added a further paradox: "This novel is not a novel.

Mm. Sceptical of the validity of some of the links Sax makes, e.g. between Bran the Blessed and the tradition of ravens in the Tower of London. Just didn't feel there was good evidence.
