"I want to remember, He wants to forget" . Tracing the Macedonia Jews
I'm watching a documentary on the Macedonia Jews.
Never known as Jewish myself, tho the results of my daughter's recent geneology report id's 3 % Jewish.
It doesn't surprise me, as in tracing my family from Northern Europe, my mother's side may be where that blessed surprise comes from.
I wish I knew more.🍃
This is another fascinating story of tracing one's history as Jewish people, that I didn't know a lot about, the Macedonia Jews.
"I want to remember, He wants to forget"
During WWll, Solomon Adizes and his son Ichak escaped a Macedonia concentration camp in disguise.
Fifty years ago in Skopje, Macedonia, Solomon Adizes and his son Isaac were sent by the Italians and Bulgarians to a concentration camp.
Disguised as Muslims, they managed to escape to Albania, where they found sanctuary with Muslim villagers. Solomon pretended to be a doctor and was known throughout the entire region.
After the war, they returned to Yugoslavia and from there immigrated to Israel.
Fifty years later Professor Isaac Adizes and his father Solomon return to the concentration camp in the heart of Skopje, and from there back to Albania to meet the family that saved them from the Nazis.
