Yehuda Lerner

the 17 yr old emblematic hero of the Sobibor uprising is still alive, and a year younger than Lanzmann, who immortalised him in the classic Sobibor: 14th October 1943 documentary.

I'm just re-watching it tonight, it is a gripping watch, yet again. Yehuda had escaped from 8 Nazi camps and one major Nazi killing facility, in which he'd played a key role in it's famous inmate uprising, and helped murder a mid-level SS commander - all by the age of 17. I'd get some beers in for him.

tbf she didn't look like one of the nuns I had to deal with - in which I mean the type that would strike a kid's head with a wooden blackboard duster and probably think most 16th century art is perverted!

Scott Walker. Well, he is dead now, but I was surprised to read the news today about his passing, because for some reason I thought he had died a couple of years ago. Mandela effect?
