Thank you, thank you, thank you. yes, this article requires three thank you s. Sometimes I scroll to see how long an article is, before reading, as I may not have enough time. Something inside said, make the time, What an honor to repost. especially in these divided times, we must remember and keep alive the truth od the past, the beauty that is possible, and the responsibility of the artist.
>>As a prime target of genocide, I became a hunted, undesirable element, then a student, engineer, scientist, artist, author and a motivational speaker.
What tiny number of people can say this.? Tibor is a national treasure. Wait. He is an international treasure. I hope he has made progress finding the right venue to preserve and display his Holocaust-related art. What a gift to humanity he and his work are.
Thank you for sharing your amazing life with us. Hope you will continue your educational speeches. Wishing you many, many more healthy productive years.
Thank you for sharing your sobering and wise message, Tiber. I am deeply saddened by the tragedies you and others experienced at the hands of other human beings. And I am humbled by your determination heart and courage to continue. Much peace and continued good health to you. Your art is magnificent!
Thank you Sari. I am immensely grateful for your republishing this interview. Had I read it when it was first published, I would have added Tibor Spitz to the list of persons I admire in my own recent Oldster Interview. Not so much for his remarkable resilience and adaptability but for his clear-eyed, but not jaundiced view of history, politics and humanity. Above all for his capacity to find his own creative and positive purpose in the mess of it all. Though that is clearly not the theme of this posting, the word “pivot” would be an injustice to this one.
This moved me so deeply, and made me recall some of the stories my Jewish grandparents told me about their family history. Much and and support for your work, and may your message find willing ears in every corner of the world.
So good you reposted this. Thanks. Just watched on CNN Wolf Blitzer and another whose grandparents died at Auschwitz broadcasting from the gas chamber there! amazing live. so moving and almost unbelievable. Also unbelievable, in 1991 I went to Auschwitz with Richard Hell. Arbeit mach Frei, indeed.
