The Book of Zgierz - An Eternal Memorial for a Jewish Community of
Poland is the translation of the Yizkor (Memorial) Book published
in Tel Aviv in 1975 in Hebrew by survivors and former residents of
the town. It details through personal accounts the destruction of
the Jewish community by the Nazis and their Polish collaborators in
World War II. This publication by the "Yizkor Books in Print
Project" of JewishGen, Inc., serves to provide the English speaking
community with these first-hand accounts in book format, so that
researchers and descendants of Jewish emigrants from the town can
learn this history. 786 page with illustrations, Hard Cover.
This author's biography is an ongoing account of abuse, rape, and
torment. It is written with a provocative tool of undercurrents
that substantiate how generational curses are formed. The factual
scenario of family disgruntling bears witness to the "learned
behavior" that causes extreme anxiety and emotional torment. This
story is not about revenge or judgment. It is simply a chronicle to
give readers a comparative view of themselves and their families
with imminent clarity. Although the original purpose of this book
was to share "deep" secrets with the author's children, the crux of
these secrets had already influenced too many circumstances and
characteristics of her progeny. Repeated family behavior had
developed into curses that were passed from generation to
generation. If relationships are your enemy, and you have somehow
moved from one abusive relationship to another, you will learn
"why" you continue to enter these same types of relationships. If
your body is twisted due to bitterness and unforgiveness, you will
learn how attitude promotes pain. If you are haunted by shadows of
your past, this book may help you understand and deal with your
emotions. No one is exempt from some type of family transference.
Emotional effects may go unnoticed by others, although they alter
our lives and usually require resolution. There is a heavily
populated audience of esoteric families who are crying out
everywhere because they have been hurt. If you have experienced
abuse, Ima's biography may be difficult to read. Humor and faith
are both excellent coping skills to help deal with the dark side.
This book contains enough tincture (an admixture of humor) to help
cope with emotions as readers experience the heaviness of this
story. Laughter is the morphine that will numb your pain until your
resolution comes.
The Assiniboia school is unique within Canada's Indian Residential
School system. It was the first residential high school in Manitoba
and one of the only residential schools in Canada to be located in
a large urban setting. Operating between 1958 and 1973 in a period
when the residential school system was in decline, it produced
several future leaders, artists, educators, knowledge keepers, and
other notable figures. It was in many ways an experiment within the
broader destructive framework of Canadian residential
schools.Stitching together memories of arrival at, day-to-day life
within, and departure from the school with a socio-historical
reconstruction of the school and its position in both Winnipeg and
the larger residential school system, Did You See Us? offers a
glimpse of Assiniboia that is not available in the archival
records. It connects readers with a specific residential school and
illustrates that residential schools were often complex spaces
where forced assimilation and Indigenous resilience co-existed.
These recollections of Assiniboia at times diverge, but together
exhibit Survivor resilience and the strength of the relationships
that bond them to this day. The volume captures the troubled
history of residential schools. At the same time, it invites the
reader to join in a reunion of sorts, entered into through memories
and images of students, staff, and neighbours. It is a gathering of
diverse knowledges juxtaposed to communicate the complexity of the
residential school experience.
