Peace Scientists work for peace

The Language of Peace
Story Hour

Last Saturday of every month. Everyone welcome to listen, tell, or read a story. No advertising (Emerald Pademelon Press websites do not, do not take advertising, ever.)

Stories must be appropriate for all ages, which means over twelve, or very bright nine-year-olds. Magic, absolutely, miracles are always good.

Stories start at 7pm Eastern Standard Time (which is 1pm on the east coast of Australia, and midnight in the UK, 4pm in California).

December 26, 2020 on Zoom:

I will tell the story of The Christmas Angel. Lois Wickstrom is the co-host, she will read stories, with pictures. We really enjoyed the story hour in November, hopefully this will be a monthly event, for all friends, and friends of friends everywhere.

All are welcome to read, tell stories appropriate for all ages. Join at any time after 6.30pm, and tell us when you join if you have a story. Please text me at 609-792-1571 if you have trouble accessing the Zoom meeting. It should work, you should be able to get on easily and be put in a waiting room until Lois or I admit you.

The stories will start at 7pm, so I should have plenty of time to get everyone organized, and find out who wants to tell stories. If we have enough story tellers, I will not tell The Christmas Angel, which is the story of stopping the bullying of a tiny child. Which is what the Christmas story is all about. The plan is to have stories told from 7pm until 8pm.

Zoom from 6.30 PM EST

Nazis won this round. SJ Dodgson MJoTA2016 v10n21228

The language of peace is sometimes a work of art. Freiburg-im-Breisgau is a work of art, a beautiful town in the south-west of Germany near the border to Switzerland and France. The warmest part of Germany, with hills just the right size for growing wine grapes, and for scientists to walk over. And surrounded by mountains with clear sky above the clouds. Scientists have for centuries been drawn to Freiburg

In Dec 2016 I was communicating with folks descended from Jews who fled Nazi oppression and genocide from Freiburg-im-Breisgau. Since 1938 the destroyed synagogue site was cleaned up and a park made inside its footprint. Always for me the highlight of going to Freiburg was walking through the park and enjoying the quiet and being very aware of what happened there, click here.

Now, all parts of the old synagogue have been removed, and the only memorial to Jews in Freiburg has been obliterated. This really upsets me, because it means the Nazis in 1938 have won. I am hoping to get the city to recreate the footprint in another area, and looking for relatives of German Jews to help me. My 3rd son and daughter are children of a Holocaust survivor, their father's existence was illegal when he was born in 1941 near Frankfurt.
