As my husband was having his last catract removed. I went for short walk, and took a photo in Sandpoint. I decided to take part in WORDLESS WEDNESDAY
Paid on our medical bills, which 2 of them our from our hospital. One for Murphy and the other is mine. Plus Murphy had one from the hospital in Coeur d' alene. I got them three fourth paid off. There a small one from the hospital in Sandpoint on an X-ray. That one will be paid off in full. Plus paid my house insurance or anthor year.
As hubby was in surgrey I was reading my book, The Diary Keeper. It a book of people who kept diaries in Netherland during WW II. The people of Netherland was encourage to keep a diaries. Not sure if other people from other countries did or not. Two things I found interesting in this book that it comes from not nessuary the Jewish population. Sure there was Jews who kept a diaries. These diaries had to be kept in hiding from the Nazi and it so called partnership of other organization lean that way. At this point no diaries was found. The other thing I read and learn, non jews wore the yellow star in protest of how the Jews was being treated. I now wonder how many protesting non-jews was hauled off to a work camp or to an concentration camp.
It been plenty hot here, and I just learn about URBAN SKETCHER. So far I don't see any in my area. But I notice there is some in Spokane Washington.
Coffee is on.
So many people kept journals and diaries. Great insight into past eras.
ReplyDeleteBlogs are now our diary keepers.
ReplyDeleteThat book sounds fascinating. Good for you on paying down those bills. Hope your hubby's eye is healing well after his surgery.
ReplyDeleteYes, they wore the yellow star in solidarity with the Jews.
ReplyDeleteThe Diary Keeper was a very fine book coming from a writer who kept diaries in Netherlands in WW2. Jewish Book Council wrote that Nina Siegal deftly wove together a some people who, like Anne Frank, were inspired to record their everyday experiences under the Nazis. Her selection highlights the Jewish perspectives of a journalist, diamond cutter, and secretary for a Jewish organisation. Yet her work also accounts for a member of the Dutch resistance who saved many Jewish lives, a young factory worker and a policeman.
ReplyDeleteThat book sounds very interesting! And scary...
ReplyDeleteI never kept a journal or diary and don't want to start now. I don't think I would be interested in this book.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard about non Jewish people wearing the yellow stars in Netherlands or anywhere else. Very interesting. It is bit like people non Latin motorists in LA putting Mexican flag stickers on their cars to attract the attention of ICE, and presumably waste their time.
ReplyDeleteDiaries are a record of history.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
...my Sweetie keeps a diary, I'm not organized for that.
ReplyDeleteOne rather famous diary from the Netherlands.
ReplyDeleteAnne Frank was a product of her time for her diary.
ReplyDeleteI've never had a journal or diary. Never felt the need, but I sure enjoy reading those journals from the past. Anne Frank is a perfect example.

There was strong resistance in the Netherlands.
