EVERYONE FOREVER NOW is an episodic motion-based media project. It is an examination of the collective wisdom and expression of human actions.

“COASTING is a meditation on the flow of energies between American coasts, what unifies and separates a space and its forms.”

Poznan

Fort VII in Poznan
1939 – 1945 Acting successively as a concentration camp, the Gestapo prison and the transit camp (German Durchgangslager). the first concentration camp in the territory of Poland. By 25th April 1944, a total of ca. 18 thousand people had been imprisoned in Fort VII; usually between 2 and 2.5 thousand at a time, while the number of the SS guards reached 400. Officially, Fort VII was a prison and a temporary camp for civilians, but in reality, it was predominantly an extermination camp.
It is now the Wielkopolska Museum of Fight for Independence.

I cant find any information regarding the Jewish men that was sent there for labour as my grandfather, Moshe.

Chayela Rosenthal(1924-1979) “Songstress of Hope,” rose to fame as the beloved teenage Star of the Vilna Ghetto Theater during the Nazi occupation of Vilna, Lithuania.

Playing key roles in the cultural resistance of the Holocaust, Chayela and her older brother, lyricist Leyb Rosenthal, created and performed original satirical revues and uplifting songs to boost the morale of their fellow Vilna Ghetto inmates from 1942-3.

Miriam my grandmother, remembers those times in Vilna ghetto.
A coffee place was opened and her mum became the manager. She, her mum, Sonia and sister, Necia had enough food to live off and work to maintain them. They had a corner with a bed, separated by a curtain and felt very fortunate. They even hosted friends visits in their corner. She had friends who were song writers and played music, they used to go to the theatre and there were youth sports and a library.

They knew the time will come and they will all be killed.

A brother of a waitress in the coffee place lived outside of the ghetto. She said he’s planing to take her and the family to a safe place in the country and that he fancied my grandmother so he can take her as well. She didn’t want to leave her mum and sister. but they all pressured her to go and before she knew it she was hiding with them in a few cabins in the country for 3-4 weeks when she finally decided to return to the ghetto to save her own family.

Probably between he spring of 1942 to the spring of 1943 when there were no mass killings operations in the ghetto.

My grandmother, Miriam tells that at some point in Vilna ghetto you had to be issued a working certificate on a regular basis to work in factories outside of the ghetto. Whom ever didn’t get their hand on one would have to stay in the ghetto when the SS helped by Ukrainians and Lithuanians would clean up the ghetto and take the remaining people to Ponary forest where they were executed.
She would never forget his name- Troyetzki, took her as her daughter together with his family to his issued work for two days as she didn’t have a working voucher. Her mum and sister haven’t received their clearance either so were waiting all night in a queue to try and receive their working tickets but it was probably sold out in the black market. They were left outdoors all night when at down the gates of the ghetto opened and SS troops marched in. A neighbour saw them and quickly let them in the Jewish Council building where luckily the troops didnt enter.

emotions and feelings

The deifference between emotions and feelings:
www.lovingself.net/Article_Change_Mind.html

Feeling:  1. One of the basic physical senses of which the skin contains the chief end organs and of which the sensations of touch and temperature are characteristic; 1b. Generalized bodily consciousness or sensation; 1c. Appreciative or responsive awareness or recognition. Feeling denotes any partly mental, partly physical response, marked by pleasure, pain, attraction, or repulsion; it may suggest the mere existence of a response but imply nothing about the nature or intensity of it.

Emotion: 1. A psychic and physical reaction, as anger or fear, subjectively experienced as strong feeling and physiologically involving changes that prepare the body for immediate and vigorous action. Emotion carries a strong implication of excitement or agitation, but like feeling encompasses both positive and negative responses.

>> A feeling is something you experience through the body on a physical level. An emotion is a reaction or response to the feeling, as the mind expresses that sensation. >> The trick is to realize that just as you can change your mind about what color sweater to wear, you can also change your mind about the emotional reaction or response you express. >>The key to understanding all of this is knowing there is a difference between reacting and responding.
