I brought my son there with my dad.
Three generations. Not lost.

It is now a bookstore @athenaeum_nl
We explored the colourful space in all its vibrancy, joy, and wonder. I am so glad it is now a bookstore ❤️
Books hold power, life, and hope.

This is the location of the small business my great grandfather co-owned in Amsterdam. In 1943 he was sent to the camps to be murdered along with his wife and daughter.

I've included the Nazi letter, signed "Heil H!tler", indicating that the shop and its Jewish owners were liquidated.

OTD, May 18, 1943.

Julius, Else and 15 year old Susi Jacks are taken from their home in Amsterdam and brought to transit camp Westerbork.

They are murdered in @sobibor.org death camp.

May their memories be a blessing.

I remember those in my family murdered in the Holocaust.
May we speak and act against all forms of discrimination.

May their memories be a blessing. #YomHaShoah

Yes, I'm sharing a Torah/bible verse on Bluesky.

But as a bald guy, this verse alone makes me a believer.

January 8, 1944. My great-grandfather's business partner, Salomon Barchasch, is murdered in @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

He wrote a postcard from @kampwesterbork.bsky.social noting that he saw my family board the trains to @sobibor.bsky.social in 1943.

The last reference to my family.

Unique northern lights tonight.
Like towers of light rising up from the city.

War Mobilization Cross and Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten pin awarded (posthumously) in 2022 to my grandfather.

One of the few (if any?) German-born recipients of these Dutch resistance medals.
