"Even under conditions of extreme inhumanity, humanity has the capacity to find solace in creative expression.

In the #concentrationcamps and #ghettoes of #Europe under the #Nazi regime, #music became a sanctuary, a way to preserve #Jewish identity, process trauma and maintain a historical record. A small chapter of this vast record, which resurfaced in #Sydney, represents one of the earliest #printed collections of #Holocaust #songs.

#Australia became home to one of the world’s largest populations of Holocaust survivors outside #Israel after the second world war. The influx of #refugees fundamentally shaped the postwar multicultural fabric of Sydney and #Melbourne, importing deep, intergenerational trauma along with extraordinary stories of endurance and survival.

It was into this postwar environment that one survivor quietly brought a small #Yiddish #songbook, that then lay concealed for almost six decades."

No Home

From leaf to leaflet, from little straws and clay / I made myself a pallet, built myself a home. / Now wicked breezes blow – the frosts are on their way, / now it’s wretchedness and woe — / driven from our nest.

Ça fait longtemps, time for a re #Introduction

La ligne éditoriale de ce compte consiste en des pouets sur ma vie #Kvetch, un #Aperçu de temps en temps pour celleux qui aiment l'observation du quotidien, pis parfois je parle d'hypnose thérapeutique #HypnoBlabla mais ça n'intéresse pas grand-monde ici, parfois du #Yiddish autre sujet de niche. Le plus souvent je commente les séries et émissions que je regarde (#Taskmaster, #DragRace, à peu près tout #Dropout…)

J'ai ouvert un blog où j'alterne entre #Microcritique des livres que j'ai lu et des textes bruts, sortant encore fumants de mon ciboulot :

Mes pouets s'auto-détruisent, sauf ceux que je trouve suffisamment marrants pour les conserver.
