Dear Friends thank all of you for the concern.
As you might remember last year i particpated in a convention [3 days] od Other Voices -Women in the Holocaust, came home got my neck stuck, My Phsiotherapist [ the one that saved my index finger] , said i am so uptight in this circumstances that i tighten up my muscles , stop breathing properly, and that 1-2 muscles become one big knot. It was the same. I flew to Amsterdam, took train[s] to assen where i slept and next morning took train to Beilen. train/taxi to Westerbork memorial museum. I came told them what i came for, and was accepted with respect and care, they found it very brave that i came on my own without friend or family. I was invited into a room , kind of oval shaped , with boig windows overlooking the woods, a table + 4 chairs, one plain light brown cupboard, and a big shelf of maybe 20-30 [?] red covered books i was offered water or coffee, refused, and than i stood there , even before my tender companion , could speak , ask to show her my names ? I cried like i haven`t cried in years. "Oh GOD ! " i thought ;"this is it one long shelf of red books containing the lists of 102.000 murdered Jewish people.?"I cried and became Numb . like an Ice block covered me, my wonderful companoin , couldn`t get my answer to waht to bring me so she came with water and lots of encouraging words,. Until i calmed down, and we checked name after name . The lists are plain , Name, date of Birth , place of birth , date of murder , place of murder, And here they were , My maternal Grandfather, My maternal granmother, 2 sisters of my mother. Until now i only knew the dates they arrived to Auschwits , now i know their murder-day dates. My mother praternal Aunt , here i got a surprise i found out she was My Grandpa`s twin sister, and added another concentaration camp to my private list Sobibor , where she , her husband and kid were murdered, But i was so surprised to learn one more family detail. My great Greatmother [praternal] and a great aunt and uncle . Tahnn i checked my stepfather`` side, all in all 14 names for sure , and 3 we were not so sure. I was numb , the wonderful stuff were so kind and friendly with me as much as trhey could, i went into the basis show , suitcaeses , dolls pictures , film , do i recognize any face ? i could not move i had to cry , a kind teacher with his class , came to me told me he lost most his family as well. From there i took the shuttle to the camp site itself ,, but i will tell you about this later ,, i have to breath , |

Mirjam,
How very brave you are. Thirty years ago, while my ex was stationed in Germany, we visited Dachau camp. Even now, I find it difficult to put my emotions into words and I did not even have family that was there. Just know that we are here for you. Carol in TN "Mirjam Bruck-Cohen" wrote in message ...

A further connection to family felled by such horror and suffering. People you might have known and loved, but for this evil thing. I could not read this without crying. Hugs to you, sweet Mirjam. I still find that whole period of history incomprehensible. Intellectually, I know humans were and can still be that cruel and evil, but deep down, I do not understand how or why anyone could or would.
