This was short and beautiful: a significant Holocaust survivor's reflection on having had open-heart surgery at age 82 and the questions, fears, memories, and values it raised. He looks at whether he has done enough, his relationship with his father and son, his relationship with his own body, and desire for a future that might not come.

I‘m never silent. Daily reminder if my decades of activism for social justice bother you you can simply unfollow me 🤍✌🏻
Tagging me with your rage all over Litsy is your right. However I will not answer.
Some of the rights you hold dear I have been spit on, arrested, tear gassed, shoved, pushed, and yes screamed at for and I‘ll continue to do it til my last breath so you can have the right to scream and text hate at me. Peace.

As I expected from the author of Night, this was harrowing and excellent. More experimental than Night for sure, this slipped about through time and showed mental illness, religion, hope and lack of hope colliding with the precursors and aftermath of the holocaust. It wasn‘t a pleasant or easy read in any way but I‘m glad I tackled it.
