Three Cents Dora
When my grandfather died, my grandmother Dora came from Philadelphia to stay a week
at our house in West Chester, PA. I was 13 and all of my grandparents, I knew Dora the least.
She was stooped and wrinkled like a raisin and I winced to kiss her. Dora wore a faded
babushka and a shapeless housedress from morning till night and moved around the house
like a shadow. It was hard to believe that like Mom, who was so lively and attractive,
was her daughter.
"Entertain your grandmother while your father and I are at work," were Mom's orders.
It was summer and the thoughts of missing the daily game of marbles with my friends
made me cranky. But I figured I could cope with the assignment for a week.
The first day, Grandmother plunked down on one of the wicker chairs on our porch,
her face set with boredom. But I was ready for her. Most everyone in my family loved
playing cards. I pulled up a chair next to her and offered, "How about a game of rummy?"
She shrugged and pushed the cards back at me.
"Ich shpiel nisht korten!" "I don't play cards!"
"Grandmother, I'm not too good at Yiddish. Can you tell me in English?"
She sniffed disdainfully, then said, "Darft sich oisleren!" "You should learn!"
It was going to be a long week.
I retreated to my comic books. When I peeked over at her, she was writing notes in Hebrew
on scraps of paper, her nose almost touching her stub of a pencil. I wondered what she was
hiding from me.
That's the way it went all week. Then, on the last day of her visit, I saw Grandmother
rifling through Mom's clothes closet. Mom was standing behind her. Dora said something
sharply in Yiddish, took some of Mom's best things and carried them downstairs.
"What did she say?" I wanted to know.
"She said I have too many clothes."
I knew Mom did not have too many clothes. Dad was struggling just to keep food
on the table and pay the mortgage with his scrap-iron business. As far as I was concerned,
that was the last straw. I was elated Dora was going home.
On our way to Philadelphia, with Dora in the back-seat of the car, I quietly groused
about her to Mom, who soon had enough. "What's the Fifth Commandment, Bert?"
she whispered.
"Honor thy father and thy mother."
"You should also honor your grandmother!" she snapped.
I kept my mouth shut the rest of the trip.
When we got to the city, I announced I was going to show my cousin, Bensy,
my prize possession, a Philadelphia Athletics baseball cap
I had bought with my own money.
"No, you're not," Mom said firmly.
"You're going to help your grandmother with her business."
What business? I wondered.
By then Dora had disappeared into her house with Mom's clothes.
She reappeared with an ancient cloth satchel. Mom handed it to me.
"Carry this for your grandmother, Bert."
The two of us walked three blocks to Girad Avenue, the Broadway of the large
Jewish community surrounding it. Narrow stores with gold-leaf lettering on their
windows lined the streets. Sturdy wooden pushcarts, painted gaudily and heaped
with every kind of merchandise imaginable, were parked along the sidewalks.
The sidewalks teemed with people searching for bargains.
A pushcart owner called to my grandmother, "Hey, Dora, where have you been?
I've had no one to aggravate me lately!" Then he shouted to the
pushcart owner across the street, "Hey, Moishe! Three Cents Dora is back!
You better hold on to your purse!"
I pulled my baseball cap as low as it would go, hoping no one would guess
Dora was my grandmother. She was busy anyway, rummaging through the
secondhand dresses piled on a cart. She seized one in very good condition,
much too large for her and held it up.
"Vee fee?" she asked in her no-nonsense way. "How much?"
The rotund merchant adjusted his yarmulke and tugged at his beard.
He knew he was in for a fight. "For you, Dora, only twenty-five cents."
Grandmother glared and raised three fingers. Three cents.
"Dora, I'll lose my house! I won't e able to feed my children.
But I'll make you a special deal."
He Held up eight fingers.
Grandmother regarded him stonily. The merchant threw up his hands in defeat.
"Take this too," he said gruffly, tossing a lady's blouse at her.
"Maybe it'll keep you off my back for a while."
Dora triumphantly snapped open her purse and took out three pennies,
counting them into the merchant's palm. She motioned for me to open the satchel
and stuffed her purchases on top of Mom's clothes. Without a mom's pause, she headed for
Moishe's shoe cart. Five seconds later she was holding a sturdy pair of ladies' shoes.
Up went her three fingers.
Moishe's weary expression turned to outrage. "My best pair!" Fifty cents at the very lowest!"
"Goniff!" Grandmother shrilled. "Thief!" She shook her three fingers at Moishe.
I cringed. But Moishe started laughing.
"Look, Dora, I haven't time to bargain with you today, so the shoes are yours for three cents.
And take this worthless par for free." He gave her a good pair of children's shoes.
So Dora continued her spending spree at three cents an item until
she was finally out of pennies. My feet were tired and the satchel was so heavy
I had to lug it with two hands. All I wanted to do was show Bensy my new baseball cap.
But we had one last stop.
I followed Dora into a small storefront office with only a bare counter
and one employee, Abe. "Dora, I've missed you. Where have you been?
And who is this young fellow?"
"Mein, tochter's zun," "My daughter's son."
"So, you're Dora's grandson," he said, beaming at me.
"You must be very proud. She's famous around here, you know."
"Yeah, I know," I muttered sourly. "They call her Three Cents Dora."
Abe turned back to Grandmother. "Well, Dora, what have you got for me today?"
She struggled to lift the satchel. Abe ran from behind the counter and helped her. Dora neatly folded each item as she took it out. Then she finished the notes she had written at our house and put one atop each pile of clothes.
"What's she doing?" I asked Abe.
"Those papers have the names and addresses of the needy people I'm to send the clothing to."
"She's giving it all away?"
"Yes, This is the Jewish Relief Agency."
My face flushed hot with shame. No wonder everyone on Girard Avenue joked
with her, then gave her their best items for practically nothing. Three Cents Dora's business
was charity and these merchants were her partners.
I took off my beloved baseball cap and held it out to Dora.
She raised her eyebrows inquiringly.
"Voosh?" "What?"
"I want to give this cap to the business."
Her eyes lit up and she three her arms around me. I hugged her back
and said the only thing I knew in Yiddish, "Ich lieb dich, Bubbah."
I love you too, Bert." She whispered back.
Mom once told me my grandfather was so generous he died with only
six cents in his pocket. Three cents Dora would die happily with even less.

Reverend Martin Niem?¶ller Poem
They came for the Communists,
and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Communist;
They came for the Socialists,
and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Socialist;
They came for the labor leaders,
and I didn't object - For I wasn't a labor leader;
They came for the Jews,
and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Jew;
Then they came for me -
And there was no one left to object.

Numbers of Refugees That Canada (Didn't) Accept
"During the twelve years of Nazi terror, from 1933 to 1945, while the United States accepted more than 200,000 Jewish refuges; Palestine, 125,000;
embattled Britain, 70,000; Argentina, 50,000; penurious Brazil, 27,000;
distant China, 25,000; tiny Bolivia and Chile, 14,000 each, Canada found room
for fewer than 5,000."

"PEOPLE THAT CANNOT FACE THEIR PAST CANNOT ADAPT FOR THE FUTURE"
Alexander Kimel - Holocaust Survivor
" I Cannot Forget "
~ Alexander Kimel ~
THE ACTION IN THE GHETTO OF ROHATYN, MARCH 1942.
by Alexander Kimel- Holocaust Survivor.
Do I want to remember?
The peaceful ghetto, before the raid:
Children shaking like leaves in the wind.
Mothers searching for a piece of bread.
Shadows, on swollen legs, moving with fear.
No, I don't want to remember, but how can I forget?
Do I want to remember, the creation of hell?
The shouts of the Raiders, enjoying the hunt.
Cries of the wounded, begging for life.
Faces of mothers carved with pain.
Hiding Children, dripping with fear.
No, I don't want to remember, but how can I forget?
Do I want to remember, my fearful return?
Families vanished in the midst of the day.
The mass grave steaming with vapor of blood.
Mothers searching for children in vain.
The pain of the ghetto, cuts like a knife.
No, I don't want to remember, but how can I forget?
Do I want to remember, the wailing of the night?
The doors kicked ajar, ripped feathers floating the air.
The night scented with snow-melting blood.
While the compassionate moon, is showing the way.
For the faceless shadows, searching for kin.
No, I don't want to remember, but I cannot forget.
Do I want to remember this world upside down?
Where the departed are blessed with an instant death.
While the living condemned to a short wretched life,
And a long tortuous journey into unnamed place,
Converting Living Souls, into ashes and gas.
No. I Have to Remember and Never Let You Forget.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE CREED OF A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR
by Alexander Kimel
I do believe, with all my heart,
In the natural Goodness of Man.
Despite the blood and destruction,
Brought by one man, trying to be God,
In the Goodness of Man, I do believe.
I do believe, with all my heart,
That God gave man the blessing and the curse.
Man can select the curse of envy, hatred and prejudices,
Or the blessing of love, harmony and beauty.
Despite the painful curses of the past,
In the blessing of the Creator, I do believe.
I do believe, with all my heart,
That God created a beautiful world,
The sun and the trees, the flowers and the bees.
And the best way to serve God, is
To enjoy the fruits of His labor of love.
Despite the painful memories from the past,
In the joyful celebration of life, I do believe.
I do believe with all my heart,
That God has created man in image of His own.
And killing of man, is like killing of God.
Despite the massacres in Rwanda, the cleansing in Bosnia,
The folly of Muslim fanatics, and the cruelty of Pot Pol.
In the love and compassion of the Creator, I do believe.
I believe with all my heart,
That the Messiah and the Kingdom of Heaven will come;
When man will conquer his destructive urge,
And learn how to live in harmony with nature and himself.
When all the preachers of hate will be silenced,
And man will become his brother's keeper.
When man will stop killing man, in the name of God,
And nation will not lift weapons against nation.
When it will be, I do not know, but
Despite all the signs to the contrary.
In the dawn of a Better World, I do believe.
Best Regards:
