Hedy Epstein and other Holocaust survivors who spoke out against Israel’s crimes against Palestinians taught me what Jewish activism should look like. Hedy embodied the spirit of Tikkun Olam and Rabbi Hillel’s question from the Talmud: “If I am not for others, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, who am I? If not now, when?” Rest in power, Hedy, and may her memory be a blessing. #Repost @muslimjewishbrotherhood with @use.repost ・・・ In August 2014, the nonagenarian Holocaust survivor was detained by St. Louis police at a civil disobedience action in support of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teen who was killed by a white police officer. Epstein, who died of illness in her home in St. Louis on Thursday, at age 91, was an outspoken supporter of the Black Lives Matter civil rights movement, which was launched in the wake of Brown's death. She was also an economic justice advocate, as well as a longtime anti-war activist who staunchly opposed the U.S. war in Vietnam and the illegal invasion of Iraq. Epstein, was however, most well-known for her outspoken support for Palestinian rights. For more than a decade, Epstein tirelessly advocated on behalf of the Palestinians, who have lived under illegal Israeli military occupation for almost 50 years. She was active in the International Solidarity Movement and Free Gaza movement, and co-founded the St. Louis Palestine Solidarity Committee and the St. Louis chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace. Palestinians "are in a prison, they are prisoners," Epstein explained in a 2007 interview. "My participation is a small contribution that I can make compared to the sufferings that the Palestinians endure every single day." She called on the U.S. government, which gives more than $3 billion in unconditional military aid to Israel every year, to stop funding Israel, and to instead fund social programs and help the poor. #hedyepstein #jewishresistance #jewsforpalestine #freepalestine #shoah #holocaustsurvivor #holocaust #blacklivesmatter #accomplicesnotallies #jewishvalues #tikkunolam #ifnotnowwhen #palestine #israeliapartheid #boycottdivestmentsanctions #bdsmovement #humanrights #jewishwomen #activism #civilrights https://www.instagram.com/p/CgCgDBpu5NR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Women of Bauhaus: Weaving class on the Bauhaus stairs, 1927

The Bauhaus (1919 - 1933) was seen as a progressive academic institution, as it declared equality between the sexes and accepted both male and female students into its programs. During a time when women were denied admittance to formal art academies, the Bauhaus provided them with an unprecedented level of opportunity for both education and artistic development, though generally only in weaving and other fields considered at the time to be appropriate for women.

Controversies

Although the school was praised for its more progressive approach to gender equality, some criticize the schools reputation, claiming that many of its female members went unnoticed both during and after the school's short existence. Others claim that although the school fronted progressive ideas of gender equality, its administration was rooted in ideals of the past and in misogyny. In the case of Gertrud Arndt, she aspired to study architecture, but was instead redirected into the more domestic or "feminine" subject of weaving, after the administration claimed that there were no available architecture classes for her. Similarly, the school also attempted to redirect Benita Koch-Otte into more domestic subjects, but she persevered with her original studies and became an influential figure in both textile design and art education. However, during her studies, she was often encouraged to give up some of her classes in order to spend more time gardening.Via Wikipedia

Riff Cohen, Tel Aviv, Israel 2010s. September-October 2019. I’ve done a lot of these portraits and a lot of other projects that touch on grand historical circumstances with really heavy themes, but sometimes interesting historical circumstances just make for really interesting music! I’ve listened to some of her songs on Spotify and it’s a really interesting mix of sounds, so I recommend checking it out if you want to listen to something completely different from your standard American fare.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg deserves every bit of the fangirling I saw on multiple signs at the #bostonwomensmarch - though idk if you can even call it “fangirling” if our rights are literally dependent on her! 🤷‍♀️ #womensmarch #notoriousrbg #rbg #ruthbaderginsburg #womenswave #supremecourt #untilallvoicesareheard #womensmarchboston #womensmarch2019 #boston #resist #idissent #itmfa #womensrights #freedomofchoice #neverthelessshepersisted @nastysigns @signsofthemarch @womensmarch @marchforwardmass #feminist #feminism #jewishwomen #womensrightsarehumanrights #empoweredwomenempowerwomen #whentherearenine https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs-5gKngPdS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=itwtqszqe8qd

Charlotte Salomon (16 April 1917 – 10 October 1943) was a German-Jewish artist born in Berlin.

She is primarily remembered as the creator of an autobiographical series of paintings Leben? oder Theater?: Ein Singspiel (Life? or Theater?: A Song-play), the largest known artwork made by a Jewish person who died in the Holocaust.

769 individual works painted between 1941 and 1943 in the south of France, while Salomon was in hiding from the Nazis. In October 1943 Salomon, 5 months pregnant at that time, was captured and deported to Auschwitz, where she was murdered by the Nazis soon after her arrival. Via Wikipedia

#bornonthisday Charlotte Salomon, 1939, Collection Jewish Historica (1)

In 2015, a 35-page confession by Salomon to the fatal poisoning of her grandfather, kept secret for decades, was released by a Parisian publisher. (...) His constant request to share his bed with her and her own words in a confession letter suggest sexual abuse. Via Wikipedia
