A Poem for Holocaust Remembrance Day, April 11

 Below, for your thoughtful reading, is a poem by John Guzlowski, a Polish-American who was born in a refugee camp in Germany after World War II and arrived with his family as a Displaced Person in 1951.  He writes that his parents weren’t Jews.  They weren’t in the Holocaust.  They were Polish Catholics who were taken to Germany to work as slave laborers in the concentration camps there.  “They suffered terribly,” he says, “and saw terrible things done to the people they loved.  My mother’s family was decimated.  Her mother, her sister, and her sister’s baby were killed outright by the Nazis.  My mother’s two aunts were taken to Auschwitz with their Jewish husbands and died there.

Psychoanalysts as Artists: Lauri Robertson

Psychoanalysts are known for their sensitivity to the suffering, conflicts, and inhibitions of their patients.  What is less well known is that many are also sensitive and talented artists. To provide a forum for that expression and an opportunity for sharing those visions and talents with others, there was an exhibit entitled “The artistry of Psychoanalysts” which was held at the winter meetings of the American Psychoanalytic Association in New York at the Waldorf Astoria hotel.  The show was open to Members, Affiliates, and Associates of the American and Members of the IPA and IPSO and included photographs, paintings, watercolors, and collages. I am very grateful for the opportunity to give each of the artists more exposure on the International Psychoanalysis.net.  One piece from the show will be shown each week and, as you will see, we have a lot of talent among us.  –Jon Meyer
