The Safeway Bag Scrolls


Here is a picture of Miriam Feder, one of the guest on Tuesday's show about passing on firsthand accounts of genocide, and the handwritten account of the Holocaust her grandmother Selma left.

When Selma was alive, she often waved off Miriam's questions about life in and after the concentration camps with "I wrote it all down." She wrote on back of checks and scrap paper and stapled them together in scrolls. After her grandmother died, Miriam found three scrolls in a plastic produce bag from Safeway, in a dresser handed down from her mother.
