Jewish Stories continued
The Museum
In 1942 in Prague the Nazis set up a museum of Judaica to record the culture of a soon to be extinct people. Jewish curators and art historians were forced to catalogue and display many thousands of "artifacts", the confiscated property of Jews who had been sent to the death camps.

What
Right Have I?
Text reads: What right have I to feel this pain you tell me is not mine? Yet these Jews are my people. Blood of my blood, dear to my heart, grappling with the same fears. For me the law is one of No Return. I do not deny my mother's gentile line. But Jewish is my world by birth, not a state I have to earn. What haven mine if They should come again? I will not let you keep me from my home.

Places of Fear
This piece is about the intersection of Jewish internalized oppression and women's internalized oppression, about the places we feel bad about ourselves and yet have to keep on smiling.
