During my trip back to Sobibor, the nazi death camp this weekend, I wore this ring around my neck. It was dug from the ground in sobibor in 1944 right after the war ended there. My grandparents who met in the death camp, escaped and then went into hiding in a barn for 9 months, then considered themselves married and wanted to have rings to make it official. They got the rings from someone who went back to sobibor and dug up jewelry the prisoners had buried in the ground from the sorting barracks; valuables buried in hopes that they could use them if they ever got free. This ring belonged to an unknown Jewish woman, and another to an unknown man. My grandparents used them as their wedding rings until many years later they were able to get rings untied to this horror. My sister has the ring from my Opa, and I keep this one as a symbol of my commitment to the memory of what happened not only to my family but all the unknown victims of this genocide and the importance of continuing to take action to undo and prevent injustice against all peoples, and prevent the conditions that foster the perpetrators. This legacy and work for me has never been just about jewish people, but all peoples as well as all living beings. Black folks, brown folks, Palestinians, Jews, indigenous peoples world wide, occupied countries and more. If we are only focused on the liberation of some we will become perpetrators of the oppression of others.#liberationforall #justice #sobibor #holocaustsurvivors #responsibility #remember #takeaction #thetableunderground

And I’m going to Poland to bear witness to the revolt of prisoners, including my grandparents, in the nazi death camp Sobibor. When I think about what fuels my commitment to transformative justice, anti racism work, and human rights, this is at the root. Very late invitation, so a sudden trip, but I’m grateful to be able to make it! #resist #ancestors #revolt #sobibor #jewishholocaust #reaponsibilty #bearingwitness #thetableunderground
