Dignity & Defiance - The Life of the Ghetto: People and Organizations - Dignity & Defiance

Dignity & Defiance - The Life of the Ghetto: People and Organizations - Dignity & Defiance: "Zemba wrote a monograph on martyrdom which he completed on the day his wife was murdered in the Ghetto. He dedicated it to her.
Zemba was one of the last rabbis to remain in the Ghetto after the mass deportations of 1942. At a meeting of the leaders on January 14, 1943, he gave rabbinic approval for the Uprising. Refusing two separate opportunities to escape from the Ghetto, Zemba was shot by the Germans a few days after the revolt began."

Holocaust Timeline: Resistance

Holocaust Timeline: Resistance: "With the influx of Jews into the partisan movement, family camps evolved, especially in Belorussia. These camps ranged from a few families to several hundreds of families. The families took refuge in forests primarily in an effort to save their lives, and secondarily to fight the enemy.

In western Europe, large scale guerrilla movement was impossible due to the more open topography. However, there were acts of organized armed resistance."

What Is Your Social Media Style?

What Is Your Social Media Style?: "THE TOASTER: The toaster is a giver, a person who engages, stops to comment and celebrates others’ successes. They share links and direct people to interesting content from pages that are of interest. Toasters are the ideal people with whom to connect and converse. You want to hear more from them and so do others. They get it."

Experiencing Teen Drama Overload? Blame Biology : NPR

Experiencing Teen Drama Overload? Blame Biology : NPR: "The easiest times to be in sync with teens are when they're in bliss, soaring because they've scored a point in a game, aced a test, or feel on top of the world on a sunny day. During these good times, we capitalize on the natural camaraderie. On the opposite end of the spectrum are the hellish moments, when teens are upset or have had a disastrous day."
