Marga Griesbach was sent to Stutthof concentration camp in 1944. This past February, she left Washington State to take a cruise around the world. @rtraister reports https://nym.ag/2M1EXvk
"In those late-February days in Auckland, stymied by authorities working at cross-purposes, unable to exert control over her situation, Marga experienced a bad bout of PTSD." http://nym.ag/2M1EXvk
"The Steinhardts were directed to a narrow room along with 16 other people. Inside, they found a set table, forks still in potatoes, a now-frozen tableau of the meal that had been in progress when its eaters had been ordered to walk into the woods." http://nym.ag/2M1EXvk
On her grandmother’s 70th birthday, lying on a floor with her mother in a room with a Nazi soldier, Marga found herself praying in Hebrew http://nym.ag/2M1EXvk
“It will not be like it was before,” says Marga Griesbach of a post-COVID future, whenever it may come. “For sure not.”
