Obituary

Pola died 4/12 after being carelessly infected with COVID-19. Born in Poland, 12/24/22, she was the quintessential stubborn “my way or the highway” Holocaust survivor-mother. Buried 4/17 in a quarantined funeral where I couldn’t say goodbye. An immigrants’ immigrant: work, cook dinner, wash, iron, clean, then do it again, again… Everything looted by Nazis, so Non-tactile love was provided in form of clothing, food, shelter. Mommie, why aren’t you eating? “You eat, I’m not hungry.”
