SHALOM
FROM
DEVI TUSHINSKI
Paris 10.4.2000
Dear Friends From my City of Płock,
Thank you for the invitation for the 2nd of
May 2000.
My heart is with you in this day of memory.
You know that I accepted to go back to Płock with my exhibition after 60 years in the city of our ancestors, but I only found the synagogue of Szeroka street where I celebrated my Bar Mitzva/ It was a difficult experience for me to walk on stones made of tears and blood. But I showed that our art is still alive and also our memory...
To Moniek My Brother
20 years I create the Psalms.
My days were black, but I escaped the flood.
Roman, Felix and Tola came out of the fire
with burned and numbered wings.
They looked at the black smoke of our little brother Moniek...
The blessed Tzadik, the young son of our family
who was murdered by gas in Auschwitz.
Black remained the color of my pen, of my brush.
I wished to give him a place among the living, among the color of life,
the color of the rainbow,
that has never been looked at and its air was never breathed again.
I dedicated to him my miniatures, the Psalms of King David.
I wish that the music of my drawings would revive his memory.
I wish that the leaves of papers would be the tombstone of his unknown grave.
And a visible memorial to the memory of human beings.
And a symbol to this blindness - stricken period, that has been ours.
And which will never be again.
Never, until the end of times...
Devi Tuszynski

It is with great sorry that I announce the death of Liber Taub born in Płock Poland 1923, died in Ramat Gan Israel 2013.
He was among the most active member of the Jewish ex-Residents of Płock Organization in Israel and was among the founders in 1998 of the memorial web site of PłockJewry in the Internet: http://www.zchor.org/INDPLOCK.HTM
Liber Taub was very brave, determined and resourceful man and managed to survive many ghetto, forced labour and concentration camps during the Holocaust. I've posted since 2005, in Hebrew, all his survival testimony, in which he told the truth about his experiences in that horrible period, about his Lost Youth... http://www.zchor.org/taub/taub.htm
In spite of his age he managed to control the modern pc world, the internet and its technologies. I was amazed how with his extra-ordinary memory he submitted more and more information about Jewish Plock which was very dear to his heart, including translations from Yiddish and Polish. To my amazement, he made me a CD with all the Yiddish songs he remembered from childhood.
It is my deep hope that his heritage will be kept, remembering his murdered family, remembering the Jewish community of Płock, during and before the Shoah, remembering their history, education, social life, culture, music, and tradition.
