I took a break from translations of poems of the holocaust, and the book I’m trying to finish on Kurt Gerron to try to figure out how my new mini-tablet works.  I uploaded my kindle and lo and behold a book I had never read appeared – The Jewish Partisans of Belarus by Zeev Barmatz – that was published in 2012.  I must have downloaded it years ago but my book club reads only novels, and a lot of them, so this little document got lost in all the trash we talk about and appeared just as I was trying to escape the issue. 

And there were all the stories I’d heard about my aunt.
