Being Jewish in Lodz
I’m searching for my genealogy
in the city of four cultures
in The Lauder Foundation
I meet the prophets and rabbis
through the holy texts
people are singing and laughing
talking about life and Jerusalem
I’m listening to the stories
taken from Amos Oz and Zeruya Shalev
full of love and suffering
in the shadow of the Holocaust
I read Julian Tuwim — polish-Jewish poet
in the Piotrkowska Street
Jewishness is suspended between two worlds
Polish and Jewish
fragile like the leaf whirling in the wind
on the wall of dreams
