Yehuda Lerner

the 17 yr old emblematic hero of the Sobibor uprising is still alive, and a year younger than Lanzmann, who immortalised him in the classic Sobibor: 14th October 1943 documentary.

calzino, Tuesday, 22 May 2018 20:13 (five years ago) link

I'm just re-watching it tonight, it is a gripping watch, yet again. Yehuda had escaped from 8 Nazi camps and one major Nazi killing facility, in which he'd played a key role in it's famous inmate uprising, and helped murder a mid-level SS commander - all by the age of 17. I'd get some beers in for him.

Zach Same (Tom D.), Sunday, 23 September 2018 15:01 (five years ago) link

Zach Same (Tom D.), Sunday, 23 September 2018 15:02 (five years ago) link

Wow, 71 years together isn't bad going.

tbf she didn't look like one of the nuns I had to deal with - in which I mean the type that would strike a kid's head with a wooden blackboard duster and probably think most 16th century art is perverted!

Scott Walker. Well, he is dead now, but I was surprised to read the news today about his passing, because for some reason I thought he had died a couple of years ago. Mandela effect?
