I am older now than my great-grandfather was when he was killed at the age of 45. He didn't get a chance to get to know his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He didn't have a chance to live his life. May his memory be a blessing.

For my great-grandfather the liberators came too late, for few other family members in time. They were liberated by soldiers, not by appeasement.

The ghetto in Rejowiec was one of the many transit stations for Jews from the surrounding area, from the Protectorate and from Slovakia. Further information on Rejowiec: t.co/JDF0DvH58l

Unsere Republik ist nun am Scheideweg. Meine Aufgabe wird es sein, in Wien alles daran zu setzen, dass wir auch in Zukunft in einer Stadt leben, wo das Miteinander gelebt wird & alle aufeinander schauen. Hier lassen wir niemanden zurück! Denn wir in Wien gehen einen anderen Weg.
