I found a copy of Tom’s biography several years ago for my father-in-law who really wanted a copy of it. To hear how Marjorie and Tom met was fascinating! At the Nuremberg trials! She was a translator from what I remember him saying. Please continue to tell this story!!

As Zweig himself had mentioned in the beginning, inaction or isolation from society does not liberate one or allow one to escape from Karma.<br /><br />2. Recognition, glory or achievement etc are all transient.. Everything disappears over time irrespective of whatever greatness one might have has achieved in his life.

A ...Jasmin- I so love your care with these stories! A stolpersteine was made with the original inscription, falsely stating that she had died in the camp. We requested that they correct the stone to reflect her survival (a feat we felt deserved to be honored). They did replace the stone, but the picture on the website is of the old, original stone. I have emailed a couple of times requesting that they update the photo since family are not able to see it in person, but I haven't heard any response. I am assuming that the pandemic has stalled their efforts, so I'll give them a little more time before I pester them again!Sarah Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680153203009020803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953231772845306556.post-48869252637608182402021-01-15T16:17:32.926-05:002021-01-15T16:17:32.926-05:00Dear Sarah, regarding the Stolperstein that was do...Dear Sarah, regarding the Stolperstein that was donated by your family (https://www.berlin.de/ba-charlottenburg-wilmersdorf/ueber-den-bezirk/geschichte/stolpersteine/artikel.179997.phpdo) you know why the photograph of the plate says "executed" but the transcription (correctly) says liberated? <br /><br />Many regards, JasminAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953231772845306556.post-58614973357222668802021-01-15T16:13:02.194-05:002021-01-15T16:13:02.194-05:00I just realized that this story about Ella's b...I just realized that this story about Ella's birthday celebration has also been shared by you on the "Stolpersteine"-Website.
