I don't think I've ever encountered anything as truly moving as the Stolpersteine. As you said, suddenly you're right there. Right there where that precious life existed - in its purest, most mundane but extraordinary way. They are so profound in their beauty and memorial.
Beautiful…I’m so glad the tribute to Steve went well. Also, I’ve seen those powerful stones in Jewish Quarters of another EU country too…was it Italy maybe?? The terror of the knock on the door…. Lastly, I’m delighted you’re trying to pick up some Arabic. That’s wonderful. All my love, your old pal Thomas
I feel your loss in your words…..and our loss to war around the planet….and universal gain and healing through the hearts of the artists who honour the dead ……through musical tribute and works shaped by hands of love🙏💖
Once again Spencer, I appreciate your insight and your writing.
Haunting. Lovely. Haunting.
We appreciate you, Spencer.
Amazing essay ❤️

Sorry for your loss, Spencer. You seem to have acquired quite the collection of uncles along the way.

Spencer,
We are grieving with you. Gut wrenching emotion. Seeing your Dad and brother singing brought back a lot of emotional memories.
Very nicely written!
Just saw address of Albini’s studio…not far from our old house in Montclaire area…small world..
Hope I can catch some of the Albini tribute…thanks for link…those bricks seem a beautiful tribute…
A beautiful piece, Spencer.
