In November 1941 the child Feldman arrived by foot from Rovno at his uncle Wolf Zamdweiss in Dabrowich and told about the huge extermination of the seventeen to eighteen thousands of the city's Jews, amongst them his parents and family members. Some details in the child's testimony, beside other pieces of information the village Jews heard from nearby Sarny, indicated that Dabrowich's end was nearing. On August 25, 1942 Dabrowich Jews were for the first time taken away by the Ukrainian police and the Gestapo to Sarny, where Jews from around Sarny-Rovno had previously been taken. It was clear they were being led to slaughter, despite all the camouflage and avoidance of a clear answer to the question: where were they being led and what for. Some people, and we among them, managed to slip away from the village several hours before the Jewish population was taken away. We turned to the forest without thinking and with no plan. We were young, and our heart was wrenched by the horrible news from Rovno, Luczek, Kowel and the surrounding villages, about the Nazi's deeds the wild beasts. Until then we suffered oppression and hunger, we were humiliated and forced to hard labor, but when the time came for the destruction of our community and its neighbors, the Jewish-human sentiment swelled in us and we decided to go against the enemy that was destroying our people.
The communication with the village was not interrupted while we were in the forest; we endeavored to keep in touch at all times. We immediately found out about the extermination of our families and all the village's inhabitants, and we decided to operate in a Jewish partisan group whose members were: Pinkas, the son of Mendel Nyman, Pinkas the son of Moshe Nyman, Abraham Nyman, the three Zlig brothers, Arie and Michal Sheyman and Meir Modreik. In the same forest, not too far away from us, there were around forty-fifty Jewish survivors who managed to escape and find shelter in the forest. Most of them were elderly, women and children. Their situation was very bad and we had to provide them with food. Although some of them had gold-coins and valuables they exchanged with the goyim in the nearby villages, most of them needed our help and we could not ignore our duty as brothers and fellow-citizens.
The Ukrainians in the villages were disappointed by the promises of their propagandists who were working for the Germans, after they were treated as Russians' sympathizers (in other words: communists), many of them were kept in camps and died swollen by hunger or from contagious diseases. No wonder then, that in the surrounding villages prevailed a spirit of a partisan revolt; the hated oppressors used to confiscate cattle, poultry and crops. The Germans, fearing a peasant revolt against these confiscations, had come to the villages with armed battalions, and they were quick to withdraw after getting from the village whatever they managed to get. The partisans, roaming around the villages used to come too, and ask the peasants for food and clothes, and if they did not comply voluntarily, they were forced to comply by threats. So the villagers' situation was difficult, and if this was not enough, with time the Ukrainian Nationalists appeared and they robbed and destroyed the peasants whose lives were always in danger. Under these circumstances many of the peasants opted to assist the partisans and join them in their fight against the oppressing enemy.
Our first priority in the forests was to get arms. We did not spare any means and used every opportunity to get the precious, precious weapons. We did not discriminate the means and did not flinch in the face of the perils involved in taking arms from Ukrainian policemen and Germans; most of the time we succeeded and eventually we all had a weapon at hand. Several Russian guys from around Kiev joined us, and the head of our squadron, which became an important military unit, was the commander Fyodor Messlyuk. With time our unit joined other partisan units and together we scared the Germans. In the beginning, when we were alone as a Jewish group, we saw our aim as personal revenge on every German and Ukrainian policemen, but once we became a mixed battalion we became more daring and over-confident: we began bold operations of destruction and sabotage on a large scale in the enemy's hinterland. After a few months we established connections with other partisans' units who were guided and experienced, among them the Fyodorov battalion, mostly from Rovno, which was in touch with Moscow and was getting assistance and directions. By the way, this Fyodorov was the head of NKVD and was active in Briansk forests when the first group of partisans was organized. He came to us in February 1943, when he was operating around Pinsk-Dabrowich as the head of our squadrons around Rovno, and a general headquarters was founded for all our partisans units.
In July 1943 arrived Bagma, the secretary of the Communist Party, a Russian that served previously in Rovno as a General-Major. He came to serve as the operating commander of the partisans in Volhynia. In the surrounding forests there were back then four partisans organizations: ours, Fyodorov's Rovno's unit, Bagma's unit and the fourth one of Polish partisans. United under one command we became a battalion. We went on living and wandering in the forests and we got accustomed to lives of wandering and danger. In summer we were able to move easily from one place to another and hide ourselves and the families that accompanied us from the invaders, but in winter it was far more complicated, to the point that some of us were beginning to despair.
Once, a German bullet wounded a Dabrowich son, one of our friends, and one of his legs froze. Doctor Erlich, who was with us, suggested approaching Doctor Malinovski, an expert surgeon from Dabrowich. We felt bad for our wounded friend and after some debating we decided to take him to the surgeon in the village. Ten of our armed friends surrounded the hospital's building; we took the wounded to the corridor and called Doctor Malinovski to examine him. The German guards were not too far from the hospital and we knew we were all in danger, but our wounded friend needed treatment. After the doctor's examination we returned to our base with the injured.
Another time we issued a death verdict on Ukrainians who pillaged Jewish property in Dabrowich, and we found a way to execute our verdict. Through our contacts with the villages' peasants we knew what was going on and that the Germans paid one kilogram of salt for every Jew that was handed to them. There were Ukrainians who got such prizes. We, on the other hand, made sure to take revenge on them: blood for blood!
We used to hide during the day and go out on operations at night. This went on until December 1943, when we received an order to go and help the Red Army that was attacking Rovno. On our way we passed Rafalowka, Wlodzimierz-Wolynski, Stepan and other villages. We had casualties on the way, killed by German bombings, but we managed to arrive according to the plan. We met other partisans' squadrons that came from other directions, also with the aim of freeing Rovno. Thus we arrived, a big army of soldiers and partisans to the city's entrance. That was by the end of January 1944. The Germans retreated hastily. When we entered town our joy was mixed with deep sorrow when we saw the huge destruction and the Jewish houses that were still standing, inhabited by strangers.
Under an army command we stayed in the assembling place all day long; only in the evening we were granted permission to go out to the city. We encountered Russians and Ukrainians, but we paid no heed to them, we were looking for Jews. We went to Shkolna Street. The synagogues on that street stood broken open and two of them served as warehouses. We saw a Jew peeking out of a glassless window. We came closer and asked if he was a Jew, when he answered positively we entered the house. On the second floor we found six men and two women, exhausted, shriveled and their expression horrified. With them was a boy whose eyes were huge in his emaciated face covered with whelks. We were glad to see Jews who were alive and free, they came out of hiding the previous day and were still terrified and hungry. We spoke with the survivors, tried to assuage and strengthen them and promised to take care of them. The next day we came early and brought them our food rations and some used clothes. It turned out they were not from Rovno but from near and faraway settlements.
On February 4, 1944 a Jewish partisan squadron arrived at Rovno, with them were the Lydovski brothers who excelled in their operations and were famous. Together we went on inquiring about the fate of the Jewish survivors and took care of them. The city was under the rule of the Red Army and Bagma's battalions.
After two weeks our unit joined Fyodorov's camp that was sent across the Bog, where the retreating Germans were trying to hold on. On April 25 we returned to Rovno where we found around 60 Jews who lived in scattered houses, some near the big synagogue on Shkolna Street and the rest of them on Direktorska Street. They were still under the impact of the nightmare they had been through and were afraid to leave their apartments after dark, since there were some Ukrainians who continued to frighten Jews. A Jewish Committee including Doctor Erlich, Shuster, Lev, Lydovski and others was organized in town and aided these wretched victims.
On May 11, 1944 German airplanes bombed the city heavily. In an hour and a half the enemy's airplanes emptied incendiary and destructive bombs on different parts of the city. Fires broke out, buildings collapsed, many were wounded and dead. When the bombing was over, squadrons of aid (amid them Doctor Erlich, Pinkas Genzel and some Jewish partisans) went out to collect the casualties. In a house on Shkolna Street that was partially destroyed they found three dead Jews. In another house nearby they found two young sisters who were hiding under a table, the table protected them when the house was hit.
Jewish Rovno was wiped away. Jewish survivors were arriving from different places, hoping to find a Jewish environment and maybe some security. From different places people were addressing Rovno to ask for advice and guidance for the moment and for the future. They were hoping to get help from Rovno. They began assembling the Jewish children that were still alive after the horrible bloodshed. Rovno was again a place to make connections and a gate toward the wide world.

Six kilometers from Rovno, in a pine-grove known as Susenki is the mass grave where twenty-three thousand and five hundred of Rovno's Jews are buried, victims of the Nazi beasts.
A witness to the horrible scene was the old forest-keeper, who used to welcome there the Jewish youth and the many hikers on Lag-BaOmer and on other occasions.
And this is what the guard told excitingly:
Forces of German and Ukrainian police surrounded the forest and blocked the entrance. No one could come or go. No one was allowed to come close, probably so that there would be no witnesses to the ignoble murder. I did not understand and could not imagine what they were scheming. A few days beforehand prisoners of war were digging ditches in the forest. The diggers had no idea why they had to dig these ditches. I was not there in person but when I heard incessant shootings and screams that pierced the sky, I looked from far away through a window and saw what the wicked were doing.
For three whole days the earth that covered the ditches did not stand still.
A group of Jews and partisans that repaired the graves and the tombstone
Second raw, seated under the tomb: Dr. Tavenchik, Shimon Nudel, Nathaniel Zarnkin, Gellman, Wosskovniek, Yochevet Eidelberg and others
(Page 571 in the Hebrew text)
It must have been because there were people who were buried alive. It was a horrible nightmare. My family members were afraid to approach the place or pass it even by daylight.
Two years later, when the Red Army took over the city, the following incident happened: a local peasant came to plough a portion of land on the forest border. As he began plowing his plow encountered the hand of a child and immediately afterwards a body of a baby-girl. The peasant stopped plowing and reported to the KGB. A policemen squadron arrived and discovered a grave under a thin layer of dirt; when the grave was opened 200 hundred bodies of Jewish children were found from this bitter and atrocious day. The investigating committee prepared a protocol and fenced the grave.
When the first Jews returned to Rovno they heard about the tragic end of Rovno's Jews and about the 200 hundred babies' grave. These sole remains, survivors who were broken and stunned from the huge catastrophe, erected a humble tombstone for the Jews of Rovno that found their rest in the mass grave. Ukrainian nationalists harmed this tombstone. But on May 2, 1945 the returning partisans repaired the graves.

1944. A freezing winter night. The falling snow covers the military cars that are traveling from Stalingrad on the faulty roads of Ukraine and Polesie, the roar of the artillery and the airplanes uproar, the tanks and the vehicles in front and behind made napping impossible. We, the partisans were now part of a military regiment and were learning the details of military conduct in the front. My thoughts kept taking me to the past and my longing for my hometown and my relatives intensified. We knew we were advancing in Ukraine, but we were not told where we were.
Suddenly I heard the order of the division's commander: The front part of the division is 20 kilometers from Rovno, the artillery should let them advance and conquer the town.
Hearing the name Rovno I was shaken, we all became fervent. We began advancing in a clad iron chain, ignoring the roadblocks and the enemy's resistance. After operating for 24 hours a new order: Stop the operation, Rovno is surrounded and our forces are in the city's entrance. I quickly inquired and found out that the enemy was still in town and that the fighting went on in its streets. At that time my unit was about 80 kilometers from Rovno. I could not contain myself and asked Vassily Michaelovitz, my commander, to take over my squadron for one day. He understood my request (he knew about my connection to Rovno) but tried to convince me not to rush to the city before it was cleared of Germans. He said: 'One more day and your feet will lead you home.' I disregarded his advice, insisted and he was not able to refuse.
Here I was in an armored car with four fierce warriors: my friends, enough weapons and we were galloping towards Rovno. After a short hour we were twenty kilometers from the city and we saw blazing fires coming up from different areas. And here we were at the entrance to the city where I was born and raised, where I lived all my life till I was uprooted and how estranged she was! The streets were strewn with bodies of Germans that were not collected yet, smoke was billowing from the bombed buildings, all around ruins everything spoke of war and destruction.
I passed from one street to another, peeked into houses, searched in every empty deserted corner; death reigned everywhere. I looked for our house and found it broken open and in mourning, I went inside and my heart sank. No one was there; the house was empty. The mezuzah on the door was the only sign that Jews lived there once, where were they? An old Ukrainian passed by and I decided to ask him if he knew anything about Jews and about my family. At first he was silent, then he remembered and said that my uncle the doctor was alive and in the hospital. Excited and nervous but full of hope I rushed to the Jewish hospital. At the entrance I asked: is Doctor Tavenchik here? He might be, they said. I went from one room to another and suddenly: my uncle Dr. Tavenchik? In tattered clothes, he did not recognize me till I called his name. Then he fell into my arms and cried, and I cried, too. My uncle was broken and old. He just came out of hiding and went to the hospital. I drove him to my unit. I fed and clothed him. I heard from him what I already knew about what happened to Rovno's Jews, about the extermination and how he was saved by hiding throughout the Nazi invasion. When we came back to town he directed me to the pine-grove Susenki. We visited the graves of Rovno's sons, our family and friends, and all the while a heavy stone was pressing against our hearts.

(Page 573 in the Hebrew text)
Rovno September 22, 1944
My dear friend Goldenstern,
I received your letter. The head of the city committee gave me the letter you sent in his name. I can inform you about the fate of your relatives: I lived with your father, mother and the rest of the family for a few weeks in the house of B. Kagan on 6 Krassnoermyska Street. I lived there since my house was destroyed when the Germans entered Rovno. According to the Judenrat statistics at the time of the Germans there were in Rovno over 28 thousand people that for tragic reasons were not able to escape hell in time. Now there are only 19 Rovno people that survived Hitler's murderers. All and all there are now 200 Jews in Rovno, but they are from villages and towns around Rovno who settled in the city. The survival of each one of them, like my survival, is a whole history, miracles and wonders, legends of Arabian Nights. We are left with only one consolation to see the total obliteration of the barbarians, the sadists of the 20th century, and indeed their demolition is near.
Kind friend, you and I have lost the most important thing one has in life: our loved ones, our dearest and nearest. I am miserable, I lost my family and all my relatives and I am alone at my old age. I am consoling you, because I was a witness to the great disaster, the catastrophe that led to their graves hundreds, thousands and millions of innocent people, old, women and children. Our personal disaster is but a drop in the sea of disasters, dreadfulness, blood and tears.
I don't know if you are getting news about the horrible crimes committed by the fascist Germans every place they conquered, places which are now being freed by the Red Army. When the next generation will read all this they will not believe, and maybe would not be able to imagine that this could have happened.
But enough about it, it is tough! I read your letter to our Rovno people; your condolences and willingness to help us evoked tears. We thank you. You ask if there is anything we need? Thanks to your letter we organized a Rovno committee. We are grateful for your brotherly advice. God help you. Warm clothes and especially warm underwear for winter would aid every one.
Write, my dear, do not interrupt the connection with orphaned brothers. I am ending the letter and asking your forgiveness for lengthening my words, I could not write you a short and clear letter. Be well. I am shaking your brotherly-hand.
Dr. Tavechnik
Rovno September 14, 1944
Dear Isaac,
This letter is written to you by Yaakov (Yasha) Gedelievitch Rosenzwieg and Raisa Koperstien. I returned to Rovno a few weeks ago. I am one of the lucky ones since out of 32,500 Jews the fascist murdered heinously, only six are left. Among them are my wife, Yevegenia Shochman and Rachel, my mother. I cannot pen what our eyes have seen. A human mind cannot fathom what Hitler's murderers were capable of doing. There were 2 big actions in Rovno, the first on November 7, 1941 and the second on July 12, 1942. They were all led to Susenki grove where ditches had been already dug, most of them were killed by shootings and many pushed inside and covered with earth. The earth shook, trembled, breathed. The bloody Nazis and their henchmen robbed all the Jewish homes where with blood and tears Jews made themselves a paradise on earth. But these cursed will not be permitted to run wild any longer. The Red army is beating them forcefully and they are fleeing, soon the day will come when they will have to account for their deeds.
I read the letter to the chairman of our committee. Unfortunately I cannot consol you. I know that Yasha and his wife and Aussic are alive; they are probably in the army, when I'll find out I will let you know at once.
My dear Isaac, I am asking you to send, if possible, warm underwear for my wife and mother. Fania and Yasha say hello. What is Bluma's address?
Shalom to all of you,
My address is Dr. Yaakov Gedelievitch Rosenzwieg, Rovno, 23 Mickiewicz St.
A letter from a Rovno priest * [* Information given about the priest Ponder and his daughter cast a shadow on his sentimental outpouring]
Very respected citizens Sonja Jacobson and Clara Gurbitcz,
In response to your second letter that reached me on October 10 this year I am informing you: it is extremely unpleasant for me to describe the horrible tragedy, which was soul shaking and occurred not only to your parents but to the whole population of Rovno. It is quite clear to me how bitter it is to lose one's parents in that way.
And this is what happened:
On November 6, 1941 an announcement was published in town that the Ukrainian population is forbidden to leave their houses after 6pm. At 11pm a terrible crying and noise was heard in the streets. This was when the Jews were on their way to the grove. I could not stay in my room and went out to my doorsteps when your parents were leaving their place with Mrs. Rosskis and her family, the Michelsons and the rest of the people who lived there. Your parents and Mrs. Rosskis came to bid me goodbye, but because of the stream of tears they said nothing.
As soon as they left, German soldiers collected in cars and wagons all the properties from the houses, so that by morning all the apartments were empty. Your big house remained, was not hit by bombardments, and the small house, as it was called, was destroyed by the Germans. Now your house hosts an establishment I don't recognize. Generally yours was the only house that stayed as it was.
Many of Rovno's Ukrainian citizens were lost as well by the hand of the villain Germans. Before they left the city an order was issued that all the inhabitants had to go out to the square. Those who went out we had no news from them till now. And many people died during the enemy's bombardments! Both my daughters were killed and my two sons fell at the front, so I am left all alone.
Before the Germans entered Rovno we sat for a week in the basement under the church, your parents were with us and I helped them with food because by then it was difficult to obtain food and I still had bread and vegetables. They told me nothing about you and I don't know how you got to the Bokharan region.
A few Jews came back. Not long ago I saw Dr. Tavenchik and other good acquaintances. We now live differently than we did and suffered in the German days, since they gulped everything and tortured us with cold and hunger. For this reason I left for the country, where it was better, since they did not allow to take anything into town.
I am concluding with deep sorrow and offer my condolences for your calamity and suffering on losing your parents.
Signed: Protoiray Daniel Ponder
If you would write to me I will respond.

It happened on June 1944 when we, the survivors of the city and other places arrived at Rovno. We lived in the big synagogue. We were around forty people, amid us 4 families: Lupatin, Uni, Driker and the family of the oldest son of the Kashvek Rabbi. The rest were singles, amid them: Idel Vinoker, from the Wolja, Haim Harber, Haim Shuster, Frieman, Poznanski, the two partisan brothers Rozenboym from Shpitalna Street, the brothers Eliezer and Abraham Lydovski and some other partisans. We had a committee (known as the Synagogue Committee for a known reason) that managed our affairs, its members were: Eliezer Lydovski, Haim Shuster, Moshe Driker, Abraham Uni and Poznanski. The safety in town was not restored and we did not know what tomorrow might bring.
One day Idel Vinoker entered our synagogue and cried excitedly: I found Torah scrolls, come with me! We hurried in his steps to Shuster's nearby courtyard that was on the synagogue's side. We went down to the basement and found a big trunk covered with rugs and in it 15-20 Torah books. We put all the scrolls into the ark of the synagogue and many were delighted because of the precious treasure that was discovered. This event prompted us to start collecting the desecrated Torah scrolls from the synagogue's corridor, courtyard and other places. We packed them in sacks and performed a public burial with all the Jews who were there. We were all sorrowful, we felt as if we were accompanying our dear ones on their last way. We put one of the partisan's guns beside the scrolls and swore to remember what the enemy did to us and to the Torah scrolls, and to take revenge.
The funeral of the Torah Scrolls, Rovno, 1944
(Page 576 in the Hebrew text)
We crossed the ruined city's streets, reached the cemetery on the end of Litovska Street and there, next to the grave of Rabbi Meirke the Just, we dug a grave for the scrolls. We took a picture of the sacred occasion for memory and next generations, we read some psalms and after saying Kaddish went broken and depressed home to the synagogue, where we lived. While passing the graves we discovered that many of the tombstones were missing, and it turned out that they were used to pave the city's pavements.
Afterward, whenever we were at the cemetery, we would first go to this sacred grave, the way we went to the big mass grave in the pine grove. When we were about to leave Rovno we decided to take with us the Torah books we found with the purpose of passing them to Jewish centers in the world and especially to the Land of Israel. We distributed the books amongst those who took upon themselves the holy honor of taking care of them. I got a Torah book, as well, and kept it in all my wanderings till I reached our homeland.

Since I left Rovno, my city, when the Soviet rulers departed in 1941 I wandered in Russia and in September 1944 I was with my family in Tashkent's Diaspora. Like other refugees there I followed the information on the radio and newspapers reporting the German's defeats on the Russian fronts. I was especially interested in the advancement of the Red Army in Ukraine, and when I heard they entered Rovno, I hasted to return to my city, which I never stopped missing.
I packed my few poor belongings in sacks and together with my wife and our little daughter left on our way. That was unbelievably rough: the wagons were packed with people and bundles and it was extremely crowded; along the way you could see the war's devastation, and a huge movement of people all worn and tattered.
The voyage took a month; the closer we got to Rovno the greater was the fear in my heart. I have heard in Tashkent about the horrors the Germans performed in Rovno, but I did not imagine that the destruction was so bad; I did not think that all the Jews were annihilated. When the train stopped at Shefetovka Station gunshots from the nearby forests could be heard. It turned out that bands of Ukrainians were still roaming the nearby settlements, robbing the inhabitants and frightening them. They even sabotaged the Red Army and harmed Jews wherever they found them. We could not wait to get to Zdolbuniv and from there to Rovno.
It was a rainy evening; the sparse lights outside did not light our way. When we left the wagon we looked for Rovno's terminal and could not find it, the big, beautiful building was destroyed in the bombing. A few steps from there stood a shack that served as a train-station. Neglect all around. Houses could hardly be seen; I thought that because of the dark I couldn't see them and felt deep loneliness. Where should I go? I was helpless.
One of the railroad workers passed by with a lantern. I asked him, where do Jews live? He did not how to answer and maybe he did not want to, since my question seemed strange. But when I asked where could I find shelter from the rain he indicated some shacks across the tracks and went away. I put the two sacks on my shoulders and we began advancing toward the shacks. On the way I fell into a ditch and was hurt. Finally we arrived at the first shack we found. It was empty and broken in. The night we spent there was long, the humidity and chill penetrated our bones and we were eagerly awaiting daylight.
In the morning I went to town to find someone, something- alas! The streets were mostly wiped out, most of the buildings were destroyed, whole neighborhoods disappeared. Saddened and depressed I went on walking in my city among ruins. I met very few people, I stopped a street guard and asked him if he was Jewish. He did not answer and passed me by. I asked another person: are there any Jews here? He answered that there were a few Jews in their synagogue.
I did not know which synagogue to turn to, but I walked toward the big synagogue on Shkolna Street. I passed by two-three abandoned and deserted Torah schools and went on till I reached the big synagogue. There was a bakery there and up, in the women's gallery around 10-12 Jews. Some were sitting on the floor on top of sacks or bundles. Their faces spoke of sufferings and depression, I did not know any of them. They formed the Jewish community in the big city that was ruined. The survivors of a community of more than three thousand Jews. Shocked I remained standing at the entrance, till an elderly man approached me and started a conversation. His astonishment was great when I told him I was from Rovno and that I arrived last night from Tashkent. He invited me with my family to come in and said: You are our brother!
We found out that we were among the first to return to Rovno. The same day we settled in the synagogue and became part of the survivors' family the remaining strangers that became our relatives by fate's decree. After a few days I made up my mind to leave the depressing ambiance of life in the synagogue and manage somehow, even temporarily. We moved into an abandoned building, which I fixed up as a living place for my family and another family. At the same time I began to run around to the Soviet authorities' institutions and ask based on my service in the past for a job, till I was accepted in the supply service of the train line between Kiev and Kowel. I worked in this job over a year while preparing to immigrate to the Land of Israel. Life was not easy back then and great was the suffering of the few that were arriving to the ruined city. Everyone wanted to leave, get away from the place where death and annihilation were roaming to emigrate. Everybody wanted a new life; most of them wanted a new life in the Land of Israel. And one day I left with my family on a difficult path of illegally crossing borders endangering our lives, until we got safely to our homeland.

Faraway in western Kazakhstan on the Ural River, where the river joins the Caspian Sea stands the city Guriev. The river separates her into two sections: one European and the other Asian. In the boring nights guys in army uniforms sat and listened to the radio news from the front. The speaker announced in jubilant voice the victories of the Red Army that was liberating one place after the other from the Nazi invader. Many hearts trembled with excitement and enthusiasm was increasing while everyone celebrated in his heart his victory when his hometown was liberated, and in one's head plans were spinning around about returning home to one's family, to the dear ones. But there was no celebration in my heart. Of course I was glad for the destruction of humanity's monster, but where was my city? My hometown?
One evening, while we were sitting and listening to the radio I heard the name Rovno amid the names of the liberated cities. The announcement ended with canons roaring in memory of the soldiers who fell while conquering the freed territories. My heart jumped: my Rovno! And what about those who lived there? Were they all, all of them slaughtered? I could not come to terms with that thought; I could not believe that they were all killed. Could it be that at least one or two of my family members were still alive?
I began pressing for a leave and a special permit to visit Rovno. In September 1945 my leave was approved as well as the permit to visit my home. Nervous and impatient I boarded the train to Moscow and from there through Kiev to Rovno. On the way to Moscow I saw no signs of war, as if this area was on Mars during the Holocaust. But when I left Moscow on my way to Kiev signs of war became apparent: ruined cities, burned villages. After a few days of traveling and moving from one train to another we entered west-Ukraine getting closer to Rovno. My thoughts became frantic, the tension grew and my patience was expiring. Finally on a Tuesday, a rainy morning, at 9 pm the train stopped and the conductor declared: Rovno!
I stepped down from the train and stood there wondering, where am I? If it was not for the huge sign ROVNO on what was left of the railroad station I would not have known that my feet were standing in Rovno. I began walking toward the center, to Third of May Street. I realized that the railroad tracks that crossed the road were rioted: on the left the city was in rubbles and on the right the Wolja was still standing. I turned left. I entered a house, not far from the railroad tracks, where in the past used to live a high school friend of mine. I entered and was struck: the same apartment, the same furniture, which was not even moved, and even a picture of her I remembered from past days was still hanging. An old Christian addressed me, What do you want, officer?
I pulled myself together and responded, I came to visit my hometown and the house in which I spent time in my youth. I am a Jew, where are the Jewish landlords?
My answer embarrassed her. She began apologizing so I wouldn't suspect her. She had no idea about the owners of the apartment, she came here after the war from a far away part of Russia and the local council gave her the apartment. She expressed her condolences and invited me to sit down, and offered me food. Agitated, I asked her where could I find Jews that were still alive, There are a few Jews here, she said, who are all in their synagogue, where they pray.
In Zamkova alley, the corner of Shkolna Street, the big synagogue was still standing, surrounded by ruins. I went in. From behind the stove I heard a voice saying in Yiddish, A goy just fell in. I turned my face toward the voice and saw a group of old and young people sitting around a table (probably the same table where in the past they used to sit and study Torah) and talking. They took me for a goy! Weak-in-the-knees I approached them and said in Yiddish, Shalom, Jews! I was once a citizen of Rovno! They came closer and we began talking. I did not know any of them, although some of them were porters from what used to be the Caucasus neighborhood: a blacksmith with his four sons (Mugilevski, I think) and some survivors from other places. It was my first meeting with survivors. I asked about my family members, relatives and friends no one could give me an answer. I learned from them that so far there was a small number of Jews who surfaced from the forests and hiding places. They were all worried and apprehensive and were planning to leave, to Poland and from there to the Land of Israel. I asked them to accompany me to the graves, and two youngsters complied.
When we left the synagogue we met an old broken man. He is a Jew, also, said one of the youngsters. He is our doctor. I greeted him and he said, Dr. Tavenchik.
I was stunned, is this Dr. Tavenchik, the high school and our family doctor? When he heard my name and the name of my parents he fell into my arms and sobbed. After a few moments of silence we parted with a warm handshake.
We drove a wagon to the pine grove, to the mass grave. A dead silence prevailed in the grove where around two thousand of Rovno Jews rested. In the murmuring trees, the blowing wind I heard a perpetual kaddish to the pure souls of the sacred.
[Page 580]
Translation by Naomi Gal
Tired from wandering since I left Rovno in 1941 I headed to the Land of Israel. Before leaving this country of blood forever I decided to see Rovno, my hometown, one last time, to make a pilgrimage to the fathers' and brothers' mass grave the victims of the Holocaust. After a long journey I arrived at Rovno. I found the city in ruins, although there were first signs of restoration here and there by Russian and Ukrainian inhabitants.
I looked for Jews, relatives and friends to no avail. A few of my past colleagues (non-Jews) with whom I worked in the service of the Russians, asked if I wanted to stay and resume my work. The big synagogue building stood in mourning. About thirty Jews lived there and other families were living in the houses that could still be inhabited. Those were the remains of big Rovno, whose Jewish sons, my family amid them, were all exterminated by cultured cannibals.
I asked and investigated a lot. I run around and searched, at least for information. I wanted to find something from my parents' home as a memento not one thing, except for the big building, my father's house, which was still standing inhabited by strangers. I found out that Tamara, the daughter of our neighbor, the priest Ponder, (the same priest who sent me a condolences letter to Siberia describing the first extermination), entered my sister's apartment and occupied it and everything that was in it.
Depressed and heart-broken I made an effort to go out to Susenki to see the big graves and shed a tear there, but I was detained from all sides, they would not let me go there for fear of robbers that were still frightening even the Red Army. This filled me with sorrow. I could not come to terms with not visiting the graves, but when I realized the danger involved, I hurried out of town, running away from this bloody place toward the tempting faraway homeland.
As a survivor stepping anew toward life, I again began wandering from one place to another. In Byten I found amid the assembling survivors Rachel Krommirs, who used to be our neighbor, a woman 63 years old, the wife of a prominent forests' merchant in Polish-ruled Rovno. From her I learned some details about the last hours of my parents and some other Rovno people. Among other things Mrs. Krommirs told me:
While the city inhabitants went by the Nazi orders from November 5, 1941 to a gathering place, supposedly to leave for work, the family members of Levi Ides hid inside and did not go out. The priest Ponder, who noticed this, informed on them to the Germans or the Ukrainians and in the evening of November 6 a group of policemen arrived at the house. Mr. Krommirs tried to escape and was shot on the staircase and all the others were led under guard to the assigned place. Mrs. Krommirs asked a German guard to go aside for body wastes and he did not prevent her. That way she stayed behind and hid in a half ruined house for two days, without knowing the fate of the other Jews. She was frightened, cold and hungry, stealthily she slipped out and miraculously arrived to Groshvetz, a Czech village, where she found shelter with Czechs she knew and lived with them for two years till the Red Army freed Rovno.
I heard infinite miracles from many of the survivors with whom I spent weeks and months on my new wanderings, till we reached the shores of our destination, our homeland.

Title: Searching for Spectroscopic Binaries in Planetary Nebulae
Abstract: There are increasing indications that binary-star processes are intimately related to the ejection of many, or possibly even most, planetary nebulae (PNe). The evidence includes: the fact that ~10% of PN nuclei are found to be very close binaries (periods of hours to a few days) through photometric monitoring; population- synthesis studies suggesting that these may be just the short-period tail of a much larger binary population extending up to orbital periods of several months; and the prevalence of highly non-spherical morphologies among PNe. The photometric search technique does not work for binaries in PNe with periods of more than a few days, since it relies on proximity effects. We therefore propose to carry out radial-velocity monitoring of a sample of relatively bright PN nuclei, in order to search for the anticipated population of binaries with periods up to a few months. If they do exist, there will be new implications for the evolution of binary populations, the origin of compact binaries (CVs, SN Ia progenitors), and even the question whether single stars can produce visible ionized PNe at all. This program was started in 2002B, but we had very bad weather and instrumental problems. Nevertheless, about 50% of the small number of targets we were able to observe had variable radial velocities, thus demonstrating the promise of our program. We have time coming up in 2003A to begin a survey of PNe in the spring sky, and the present proposal is to follow up on the objects in the autumn sky that looked so promising in 2002B.

On Wednesday, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) settled with the NASDAQ stock exchange for a cool $10 million. The move comes after last year's bungled initial public offering (IPO) of Facebook stock.
The SEC said in a statement that this amounted to the "largest ever penalty against an exchange." However, this represents a relatively small amount to the exchange's parent company, the NASDAQ OMX Group. That company's market capitalization is more than $5.2 billion, and the company generated a profit of $352 million in 2012.
In March 2013, NASDAQ also paid $62 million as a result of the Facebook IPO. That money went to investors who lost an estimated $500 million as a result of the delay in the stock's trading. According to the SEC, the new NASDAQ settlement is the result of "securities laws violations resulting from its poor systems and decision-making during the initial public offering and secondary market trading of Facebook shares."
So what happened? Essentially, when the market was flooded with orders, NASDAQ took a few extra milliseconds to process the orders than it normally does. Given that we live in a world of high-frequency trading, that's nearly an eternity.
As the SEC wrote in its order (PDF):
Because the share and volume calculations and validation checks occur in a matter of milliseconds it was usually possible for the system to incorporate multiple cancellations (and intervening orders) and produce a calculation that satisfies the validation check after a few cycles of calculation and validation. However, the design of the system created the risk that if orders continued to be cancelled during each re-calculation, a repeated cycle of validation checks and re-calculations—known as a "loop"—would occur, preventing NASDAQ's system from: (i) completing the cross; (ii) reporting the price and volume of the executions in the cross (a report known as the "bulk print"); and (iii) commencing normal secondary market trading. This risk was greatest during crosses in which a large volume of orders and cancellations were submitted in rapid succession during the brief period of the cross calculation process.

I'm just now getting around to commenting on the shows you talked about.First of all, and I know I'm gonna hear things like "WHAT???", but I've never seen BB before...never. Can you all tell me what is the big draw to it? I'm curious.Secondly, Treasure Hunters....BORING!!! I really tried to watch it, but just found I couldn't get into it at all. It didn't take much for me to get interested in something else (Sudoku puzzles for one. ). Heck, even Hells Kitchen is better to watch. You guys should talk more about that.And finally, the Mole. While I didn't see the celebrity ones, I DID see the first season and LOVED it. And BTW, I guessed almost from the beginning who the Mole was and I was right. There was just something about her that made me point my finger in her direction. I would so love to see the show again. Even more so, I would love to be in it. However, I can't run very well so couldn't do alot. Oh well, I'll continue to live vicariously through all these people.Rob, you're awesome for taking time to do the show with all that was going on that day. Thanks. And hope the healing process is going quickly for your dad.

PARIS — More than a year after resigning in disgrace as the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn is seeking redemption with a new consulting company, the lecture circuit and a uniquely French legal defense to settle a criminal inquiry that exposed his hidden life as a libertine.
Mr. Strauss-Kahn, 63, a silver-haired economist, is seeking to throw out criminal charges in an inquiry into ties to a prostitution ring in northern France with the legal argument that the authorities are unfairly trying to "criminalize lust."
That defense and the investigation, which is facing a critical judicial hearing in late November, have offered a keyhole view into a clandestine practice in certain powerful circles of French society: secret soirees with lawyers, judges, police officials, journalists and musicians that start with a fine meal and end with naked guests and public sex with multiple partners.
In France, "Libertinage" has a long history in the culture, dating from a 16th-century religious sect of libertines. But the most perplexing question in the Strauss-Kahn affair is how a career politician with ambition to lead one of Europe's most powerful nations was blinded to the possibility that his zest for sex parties could present a liability, or risk blackmail.
The exclusive orgies called "parties fines" — lavish Champagne affairs costing around $13,000 each — were organized as a roving international circuit from Paris to Washington by businessmen seeking to ingratiate themselves with Mr. Strauss-Kahn. Some of that money, according to a lawyer for the main host, ultimately paid for prostitutes because of a shortage of women at the mixed soirees orchestrated largely for the benefit of Mr. Strauss-Kahn, who sometimes sought sex with three or four women.Continue reading the main story
On Thursday, Mr. Strauss-Kahn broke a long silence to acknowledge that perhaps his double life as an unrestrained libertine was a little outré.
"I long thought that I could lead my life as I wanted," he said in an interview with the French magazine Le Point. "And that includes free behavior between consenting adults. There are numerous parties that exist like this in Paris, and you would be surprised to encounter certain people. I was naïve."
"I was too out of step with French society," he added. "I was wrong."
But whether his downfall will have a lasting impact on the culture of sexual privilege and impunity for powerful men in France remains uncertain. He declined to be interviewed for this article.
This month Mr. Strauss-Kahn won a major legal battle after a French prosecutor dropped part of the investigation into an alleged sexual assault at a hotel in Washington. A Belgian prostitute recanted her earlier accusation, saying the encounter was just rough sex play, but Mr. Strauss-Khan is still a suspect for involvement in a prostitution ring.
Buoyed by that first victory, Mr. Strauss-Kahn's lawyers predict he will triumph in France, where having sex with prostitutes is not illegal, although soliciting and pimping are.
In essence, they argue, there is nothing criminal about the sexual life of a libertine, according to Mr. Strauss-Kahn's lead lawyer, Henri Leclerc.
That defense may not satisfy the charges in a New York civil lawsuit filed by Nafissatou Diallo, who accused Mr. Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault last year in a New York hotel where she was a chambermaid. Lawyers representing both sides deny there are financial negotiations under way.
"His travels will eventually bring him to a courthouse in the Bronx, where he will face justice," Kenneth Thompson, the lawyer representing Ms. Diallo, said in an interview.
All of Mr. Strauss-Kahn's current legal woes in New York and France mixed together last year, with devastating results.
Mr. Strauss-Kahn's name first surfaced in the French inquiry by chance, in May 2011. French investigators were tapping the telephones of Dominique Alderweireld, an owner of Belgian sex clubs who is also a suspect in the prostitution ring.
In one conversation between Mr. Alderweireld and a longtime childhood friend, René Kojfer, who worked at the Carlton Hotel in Lille, the men were gossiping about Mr. Strauss-Kahn's recent New York arrest, according to lawyers involved in the case.
They then recalled a freewheeling luncheon in 2009 at a Paris restaurant called L'Aventure, and Mr. Kojfer discussed whether they could make money by offering information about that day to Ms. Diallo's lawyer, Mr. Thompson, who was never called, the lawyers said.
At L'Aventure, Mr. Strauss-Kahn and a few friends gathered in a private basement club, carpeted in purple and black tiger stripes, with a female Belgian escort and Mr. Alderweireld's companion, Béatrice Legrain, who recalled that lunch in an interview.
She said that Mr. Strauss-Kahn, energized by Viagra, had sex with the escort and then followed Ms. Legrain to the bathroom, grabbing her and demanding sex. But she said she rebuffed him and it "wasn't a big deal." Mr. Strauss-Kahn's lawyer declined to comment.
In his own interview, Mr. Alderweireld made light of the "petit" episode at L'Aventure. His lawyer, Sorin Margulis, took a more scornful view: "It's more an act of Louis XIV."
The investigation into the prostitution ring in Lille ultimately swept up 10 suspects, including Mr. Strauss-Kahn. They knew each other largely through their membership as French Freemasons, according to Karl Vandamme, a defense lawyer who represents Fabrice Paszkowski, the owner of a medical supply company who played a crucial role in organizing the sex parties.
"Libertines are people like you and me: people who have a normal life," said Mr. Vandamme, who said his client invested around $65,000 in party expenses, betting on the political rise of Mr. Strauss-Kahn.
The banker, he said, would typically arrive late for the more than a dozen parties, held over a period of about five years. There was a rhythm to the gatherings, with everyone dressed for a sit-down dinner, he said. Then over time, couples separated, "kisses were exchanged between one woman and another and between a husband and the wife of a friend" until the guests "all ended up nude."
Hubert Delarue, the lawyer for Mr. Kojfer, also accused of involvement in the prostitution ring, predicted that most of the suspects would be cleared. Mr. Strauss-Kahn's lawyers argue that he was unaware that some of the women were prostitutes because they were all naked by the time he arrived late, and the party hosts contend they reaped no profits.
"Prostitution was more regulated before," Mr. Delarue said, "but it was for a certain type of population. Today among all those women, there are occasional prostitutes, and sometimes they're top models who try to make ends meet. They aren't miserable women on the sidewalk."
Mr. Strauss-Kahn's double life is not surprising to some Parisians.
"He's not the only libertine man in the political world," said Olivia Cattan, who leads an anti-sexism association called Words of Women and believes the case reflects a code of silence. "It is linked to power, and women are often complicit when it can guarantee them a job."
While Mr. Strauss-Kahn awaits the outcome of his legal cases, he is shaping a new role for himself after being disowned by his Socialist party.
In the last two months he registered Parnasse, a consulting firm named for the Left Bank neighborhood of Montparnasse, where he moved after separating from his wife, Anne Sinclair, in August.
He has delivered lectures in South Korea, Morocco, England and Ukraine, offering a euro zone rescue plan for wealthy countries to share some gains from favorable interest rate spreads with poorer nations.
"He's a man of incredible moral strength," said Michel Taubmann, his biographer. "I saw this man resisting, avoiding a fall. Never have I have seen him desperate. He knows he is innocent and wants to move forward."
Mr. Strauss-Kahn has pleaded publicly for the media to "leave me in peace," but he cannot escape his notoriety.
In the works is a French play, "Suite 2806" — inspired by the episode in the New York hotel room with the housekeeper — and, separately, a movie directed by Abel Ferrara with Gérard Depardieu.
And in a tribute to the whole affair, two French entrepreneurs are promoting a saffron-flavored soda to mix for cocktails at fashionable Paris bars. They are branding it as an aphrodisiac with a memorable label: Mr. Strauss-Kahn's initials, DSK.Continue reading the main story

10 must-watch House races
Republicans head into the midterm election with the clear upper hand in the battle for control of the House. Political handicappers give Democrats virtually no shot at erasing the 17-seat deficit separating them from the speaker's gavel.
But that doesn't mean there will be a shortage of races with fascinating dynamics. From a primary pitting Silicon Valley against the Democratic establishment, to an upstate New York race featuring an openly gay venture capitalist with a Rolodex of famous friends, to a Georgia race in which a savvy Democratic pol will be put to the test, this year will spotlight dozens of headline-grabbing races. And it won't take long for the action to begin: A March special election for a Florida congressional seat will attract plenty of attention from both parties.
Story Continued Below
Here's POLITICO's look at the 10 most intriguing House races of 2014.
( PHOTOS: 10 must-watch House races in 2014)
California's 17th District
Democratic Rep. Mike Honda, known in Capitol Hill circles as a genial, grandfatherly figure, hasn't had to worry much about winning reelection in the past. But he does now. The seven-term, 72-year-old congressman has drawn a primary challenge from Ro Khanna, a 37-year-old lawyer and former U.S. Commerce Department official.
The race has exposed a divide between the ascendant Silicon Valley community, which has rallied to Khanna's side, and the old guard Democratic and labor establishment, which is sticking by the incumbent. While Khanna has the backing of tech honchos such as entrepreneur Sean Parker, Yahoo! CEO Marissa Maye r and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, Honda has endorsements from the likes of President Barack Obama and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
Under California's newly implemented jungle primary system, the top two finishers in the June 3 primary will advance to the general election, regardless of party affiliation. That means Honda and Khanna are almost certain to go two rounds in the brutal contest.
( Also on POLITICO: Top governor races to watch in 2014)
California's 52nd District
Republicans have one of their best recruits in Carl DeMaio, an openly gay former San Diego councilman and one-time mayoral candidate who's looks like the perfect fit for this coastal, middle-of-the-road district that's occupied by freshman Democratic Rep. Scott Peters.
DeMaio's path isn't easy — he's running as a moderate at a time when his party's congressional wing has veered sharply to the right. But he's not been afraid to distance himself from the conservatives: He's attacked his party for advocating an approach during the budget negotiations that led to the government shutdown.
Colorado's 6th District
GOP Rep. Mike Coffman squeaked out a narrow reelection in 2012 over a flawed Democratic opponent. In 2014, Coffman's fight will be far harder. He's facing Democrat Andrew Romanoff, a prominent pol who served as state House speaker and who waged an unsuccessful 2010 Senate bid.
( Also on POLITICO: For 2014, D.C. players resolve to ...)
Immigration reform could play a big role in this suburban Denver district, where Hispanics make up nearly 20 percent of all residents. Coffman recently softened his stance on immigration, stating his support for a comprehensive reform package that includes a pathway to legalization for the children of illegal immigrants.
Florida's 2nd District
The South hasn't been friendly territory for Democrats during the Obama era. But this year the party has a legitimate shot at knocking off GOP Rep. Steve Southerland, a sophomore tea party leader from the Florida Panhandle. That's because Democrats have a blue-chip recruit in Gwen Graham, a Leon County schools administrator and the daughter of former Sen. Bob Graham.
Taking out the incumbent won't be easy — Southerland has the benefit of running for reelection in a Republican-friendly district that Mitt Romney won with 52 percent of the vote. But Southerland's reputation as a weak fundraiser, coupled with his vote against the deal to reopen the federal government, leaves him vulnerable.
( PHOTOS: Senators up for election in 2014)
Florida's 13th District
The March 11 special election for the St. Petersburg-area seat will be closely read as a barometer for the national political environment. The seat, held for more than four decades by the late GOP Rep. Bill Young, is nearly evenly split between Democrats and Republicans. There aren't too many districts more competitive than this one.
It's Democrats who head into the race with the upper hand. While they have a strong candidate in Alex Sink, the former state chief financial officer and 2010 gubernatorial nominee, Republicans find themselves picking between two less-than-impressive contenders in a Jan. 14 primary.

...and it was pretty much what I expected, everything a Breaking Dawn movie had to be and could not help but be, etc. Given that 1) the book is what it is and 2) the filmmakers have always been under order to be scrupulously faithful to it, it's... it just is, okay? It is a filmed experience of the book, which says pretty much everything you need to know about it. Also, maybe I just feel such monumental pity for the kid that I didn't even think Taylor Lautner was bad. The imprinting itself was somehow as tasteful as Melissa Rosenberg could think to write it, and my audience was, as Twilight audiences in Birmingham have always somehow been, worshipfully quiet, so I didn't get the enjoyment of listening to the entire theater freak out. The closest they got was some knowing "Ohhhhh, here we go"-type laughter right as Jacob approached the baby. They didn't even have an audible reaction to the vampire caesarean.
Also, stay for an extra scene in the middle of the credits, because Aro is my spirit guide.
@cleolinda: All right. Time to chagrin my dazzle. Pray for me. #leavingthehouseomg #breakingdawn #sparklemas
@ladonnapietra: @cleolinda And yea, though you walk through the valley of the reflection of sparkles...
@particle_person: @cleolinda Best wishes! May you not see anything unseeable or hear the unhearable!
@cleolinda: Oh, I've seen leaked stuff. It's too late for that.
@particle_person: I meant the audience, actually. ;-)
@cleolinda: HAAAAAAAA
@cleolinda: Well, my purse and I got the front row, at least.
@cleolinda: (I will not be live tweeting. The lights haven't even gone down yet, we've got a few minutes to kill.)
@cleolinda: Wtf? RT @alierakieron: My SiL had someone faint on top of her at last night's show. Usher said it was the second one of the night.
@cleolinda: Well, that happened. You guys, I think I can do this. #thatofwhichwedonotspeak #breakingdawn #sparklemas
So I'm going to be writing as fast as I can for the next couple of days, because I think I can do this, possibly, in a semi-timely fashion--I basically sat there thinking a Fifteen Minutes the whole time, although, fuck my life, I forgot to bring any paper for notes. Well, I may be seeing it again tomorrow, so. I have thought of--I won't say a "gimmick," exactly, but a unifying, running joke, like the Viking saga in Eclipse, that will probably help me through a lot of it. You don't have to have one, but it helps you approach a scene you get stuck on from a different perspective. AND GOD KNOWS I WILL NEED IT.
Jesus, my head hurts.
Excellent! Thank you!

Training participants to earn Executive Certificate in Religious Fundraising (ECRF)
In partnership with Lake Institute on Faith and Giving, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary will offer a four-day ECRF course for clergy, judicatory executives and development leaders of faith-based organizations January 27-30, 2014. The course will be held on the Seminary's campus.
Recognizing the need for a comprehensive training program for pastoral leadership to meet the unique fundraising and resource development needs of congregations and parishes, the Institute and Louisville Seminary see the course as an opportunity for attendees to learn core fundraising principles in a supportive environment, and to explore essential rituals and practices that foster generosity.
The program will be led by Dr. William Enright, Karen Lake Buttrey director of Lake Institute on Faith and Giving; Aimee Laramore, associate director of Lake Institute on Faith and Giving and Dr. Susan R. Garrett, dean of Louisville Seminary.
"Faith-based organizations, especially congregations, are facing significant fiscal challenges," said Enright. "Lake Institute developed the ECRF to provide clergy leaders and development officers with the fundraising tools, organizational principles and theological tenets pivotal to nurturing generosity. This is not a how-to seminar. It is a practical experience to help leaders nurture generous givers with joy and integrity, while creating a rich community of conversation partners in the field of faith and fundraising."
"It is a privilege to partner with Lake Institute, an organization that has been charting the landscape of religious fundraising and training leaders to work in that arena for over a decade," said Garrett. "I am confident that our Seminary's collaborative work with the Institute to offer the certificate program will greatly benefit participants and the communities they serve."
To register, click here.
Registration is limited to 25 participants, and full payment is required at the time of registration. "Early bird" registration tuition is available through August 31 at a discounted, $900 rate. Beginning September 1, the cost to register is $1,200. The deadline to register is October 4, 2013. Tuition covers your attendance at all four seminars, plus breakfast and refreshments each day of the course. Lodging and other meals are the responsibility of each attendee.

Insights and ideas from Barbara Boissevain, Adobe® Photoshop® user
Professional PhotographerVisit this innovator's website
Bringing issues into focus
Barbara Boissevain uses her photography to increase awareness of environmental and social issues. Her passion has taken her around the world to photograph the plights of gypsies in Greece and the near-forgotten indigenous Quechua people of Peru. Recently, she decided to focus her work closer to home when she discovered that the San Francisco Bay Area where she lives leads the nation in terms of environmental awareness, yet it is among the most polluted areas in the country. Here, Boissevain talks about her photography goal: to cultivate awareness and provoke meaningful discourse about environmental stewardship.
Photoshop.com: How did growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area influence your interest in art and photography?
Barbara Boissevain: Our family moved from Ohio to the Bay Area when I was seven years old. My mom was a software developer and my dad was a NASA scientist, so I was surrounded by technology and was interested in it. But I loved art too. I started as a painter at Parson's School of Design in New York City, and I began my explorations in photography while still in college. My photography blossomed and became a passion for me in my early 20s.
Photoshop.com: What and who inspired you to become a professional photographer?
Barbara Boissevain: While still in art school I saw Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado's "Worker's" series at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, France. This was a life-changing event and I was captivated by his work. The idea of using photography in the service of social and political advocacy was not new to me, but this idea combined with the formal qualities of his images and his extraordinary use of available light really resonated with me.
Photoshop.com: When did you begin to focus on social and environmental issues?
Barbara Boissevain: In 2009, I collaborated with a dear friend on a humanitarian mission to Peru. The result was "Children of the Rainbow", a traveling exhibition and book project that helped fund several medical missions serving underprivileged indigenous communities in Peru. In many ways this project represented a real milestone for me in terms of combining my humanitarian goals and my photography. I would love to do more projects like this in the future. Most of the images included in this project were shot while on the Patacancha trail—off the Sacred Valley at an elevation of about 14,000 to 15,000 feet.
I am now working on a Masters in Fine Arts (M.F.A.) at San Jose State University, and my thesis, due this May, focuses on something I care deeply about: toxicity in the Bay Area. People are surprised about the levels of pollution that exist here; I want them to know more and I convey that information through photographs.
Photoshop.com: Tell us more about your thesis.
Barbara Boissevain: I'm creating a photographic series called "My Backyard" that documents five environmentally toxic sites in the San Francisco Bay Area. Yes, it's an expression of my art, but ultimately my goal is to raise awareness. I also want to collaborate with non-profits and other institutions to get the word out and educate the public. My goal isn't to tell people to take specific actions, but to inform and inspire people to learn more about these issues. I am concerned about the problems communities and individuals face who live alongside toxic sites without their full knowledge or consent. I consider this situation to be one of the biggest civil rights issues of our time.
Photoshop.com: What role do Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop CS6 software play in your artistic process?
Barbara Boissevain: It's pretty simple: I start by importing the raw files into Photoshop Lightroom and then export the images as TIFF files. Finally, I bring them into Photoshop for color calibration and cleanup to remove any flaws. I don't alter the images very much, but just highlight the important parts that show the toxicity.
Photoshop.com: What are your favorite features in Photoshop CS6? Why?
Barbara Boissevain: I love the clean new interface and the dark background, which is how most photographers I know (including me!) like to view images. The darker interface remains in the background where it should be, so the photographer can focus more easily on what's really important—the image itself. I love the Tilt-Shift feature in the Blur Gallery for giving photos a miniature feel. I have a wide-angle shift lens for my Nikon D3 that cost thousands of dollars. Now I can create the same effects in Photoshop CS6 with infinite options. Also, the Content-Aware Patch is really fabulous. I recently used it to edit out an unwanted helicopter component in some aerial shots. The updates in Photoshop CS6 showed that Adobe is really attuned to what photographers need to save time and get the best results in postproduction.
Photoshop.com: What makes your style recognizable?
Barbara Boissevain: My photos have a dramatic aesthetic about them and I am interested in providing as much context as possible in one shot. They also represent what famous photographer David Maisel refers to as the "apocalyptic sublime." What he means is that certain images of environmental degradation are horrifying–yet underneath they have a dizzying, imperial beauty.
Photoshop.com: Describe a favorite image you've created, what grabs you about it, and how you created the result.
Barbara Boissevain: Ghost Hangar No.1, from the Ghost Hangar series, depicts the largest Superfund site in Santa Clara County, the Moffett Field Naval Air Base in Mountain View, California. It is a very potent image for me for many reasons. Moffett Field is home to the iconic Hangar One, a colossal structure that covers over eight acres and is one of the largest freestanding structures in the world. As a small child I rode up and down in hot air balloons inside this hangar during annual NASA Christmas parties, and I remember experiencing the incredible vastness of the space known to produce its own weather systems within its walls, such as rain and fog. Built in 1931 to house a naval airship—the dirigible USS Macon—the hangar is now rife with controversy. It was recently found to be leaking toxic chemicals into the wetlands bordering the San Francisco Bay. Efforts are currently underway to remove the toxic outside "skin" from the hangar as it contains polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), lead, and asbestos.
I took this shot at twilight, when fortuitously, there were clouds that enhanced the photo. In postproduction, I created an adjustment layer and tweaked the levels to increase the density in the sky. I also created another adjustment layer with a mask and used curves to vignette the image slightly. In the lower half of the image, "underneath" the hangar, I created a semi-transparent layer and composited an aerial shot of the Bay within close proximity to the hangar. This layer depicts the die-off that has occurred in the wetlands close to the hangar. My intention was to suggest the hidden toxicity that exists below ground level that we cannot see from above ground—mimicking the ways in which information about the true level of toxicity is obscured and hidden from the public.
Photoshop.com: Can you talk about your "Big Dirty Secret" series and the inclusion of text in some of the images?
Barbara Boissevain: The focus of the "Big Dirty Secret" series is the Lehigh Permanente cement plant in Cupertino. Still in production today, the plant is responsible for creating more than 50% of the cement used in the Bay Area. Growing up, I lived within a mile or two of the plant, but didn't know it existed until a few years ago. It is within close proximity to a dense population that I believe has the right to know about its existence—and its harmful effects on the environment. I chose to use embedded text in these images to allude to how much of the toxicity that surrounds us is hidden. We have to actively look for it, just like the text in these images.
I gathered the text from different sources, including the San Jose Mercury News and the Environmental Protection Agency's website. Adding the text into the image was simple. I created an adjustment layer, and created a text box over the entire image using the Text tool. I copied and pasted text from my different sources until it covered the entire image. I then clicked on the mask icon on the adjustment layer and used the Brush tool to "paint" in the text wherever I wanted it show within the image.
Photoshop.com: What's next for you after you graduate?
Barbara Boissevain: I'm hoping to continue to continue to expand the "My Backyard" series here in the Bay Area, and investigate other communities affected by toxicity in other parts of the country as well. While completing my M.F.A. at San Jose State I had the opportunity to teach undergraduate photography classes and I discovered that I have a real passion for teaching and sharing my love for photography with my students. I am hoping to find a position teaching at the university and college level.

StatisticsHometown: Fordyce, Arkansas Classic Coaching Record: 2-3-0
Paul "Bear" Bryant, the coach who made the houndstooth hat famous, shared many exciting moments in the Cotton Bowl. In five appearances, he was one of only three coaches to lead more than one university to the Classic. His first trip to Dallas came in 1952 when he guided Kentucky to a 20-7 victory over TCU. Then, with his move to Alabama, he and the Crimson Tide made four more Cotton Bowl appearances. However, The Bear may be remembered more for a game he lost than for his two victories. In the 1968 Classic, Gene Stallings, one of his former players, directed Texas A&M to a 20-16 upset. After the game, Bryant gave his former pupil a congratulatory bear hug...a moment frozen in time in the lore of the Cotton Bowl.
Duke Carlisle Texas
Classic Memories1962 Classic: Texas 12, Mississippi 7 1963 Classic: LSU 13, Texas 0 1964 Classic: Texas 28, Navy 6
StatisticsHt. 6-1 Wt. 176 Class: Sophomore/Junior/Senior Position: Quarterback/Halfback Hometown: Athens, Texas 1964 Rushing: 11 attempts, 54 yards, 1 TD 1964 Passing: 7-19-1, 213 yards, 2 TDs 1962 Defensive Statistics: 7 tackles, 3 unassisted, 3 PBUs 1963 Defensive Statistics: 6 tackles, 3 unassisted, 1 PBU
Duke Carlisle, the Longhorn defensive ace turned quarterback, gave college football a performance to remember when No. 1 Texas faced No. 2 Navy in one of the most eagerly awaited bowl matchups ever. The Longhorns were unbeaten at 10-0-0 while Navy was 9-1-0. Much of the focus fell upon Navy quarterback Roger Staubach, college football's Heisman Trophy winner. However, it didn't take long for Carlisle and Texas to gain the upper hand. The Midshipmen dared the ground-oriented Longhorns to throw the ball and Carlisle answered the challenge by throwing touchdown bombs of 58 and 63 yards early in the game. He then ran nine yards for another score just before halftime. The end result was a convincing 28-6 Texas victory and the dispute was settled as to which team was No. 1.
Johnny Holland Texas A&M

The term "Wrecking Crew" is defined as a tenacious, swarming defense, one that turns opposing offenses inside-out with no place to run. The moniker came into vogue in the mid-1980s when Texas A&M linebacker Johnny Holland served as one of the ringleaders of the first "Wrecking Crew" defense. Blessed with tremendous quickness and football instincts, Holland was spectacular for the Aggies against Auburn and Ohio State. In those two games, "Mr. Everywhere" logged 27 tackles, 18 were solo efforts. In the Classic's Golden Anniversary game, Holland unloaded on Auburn with 16 tackles and was involved in two crucial fourth down situations in the fourth quarter that propelled A&M to a resounding 36-16 victory over Auburn and Heisman winner Bo Jackson.
John Kimbrough Texas A&M
Classic Memories1941 Classic: Texas A&M 13, Fordham 12
StatisticsHt. 6-2 Wt. 222 Class: Senior Position: Fullback Hometown: Haskell, Texas Rushing: 18 attempts, 66 yards, 1 TD
Texas A&M fullback John Kimbrough was big, strong and hard to bring down. Kimbrough's bone jarring collisions were infamous. That's why they called him Jarrin' John. He wasn't the average football player of the 1940s. Standing 6-2 and weighing 222 pounds, the Haskell Hurricane was an imposing force on the gridiron. Opposing defenders often compared tackling Kimbrough with tackling a truck. There wasn't any trickery or shiftiness in his running style. Everyone knew where he was going. They just couldn't stop him. At the 1941 Cotton Bowl, Kimbrough plowed through Fordham defenders for 66 yards on 18 carries and scored the game's decisive touchdown in the third quarter, a one-yard burst around left end. After the game, Ram players agreed that knocking Kimbrough off his feet was just too much to ask.
Lindsey Nelson Voice of the Cotton Bowl
Classic MemoriesCotton Bowl Broadcasts: 1951, 1953: NBC Radio Network 1954-57: NBC Television Network 1958, 1961, 1968, 1970-86: CBS Television Network
StatisticsHometown: Columbia, Tennessee
"Hello everybody, I'm Lindsey Nelson." For 26 years, this was his signature greeting as Nelson welcomed millions of football fans from around the country to the Cotton Bowl. A true pioneer of sports broadcasting, Nelson's radio and television career began in 1948 and spanned five decades in which he covered thousands of sporting events. His tenure as the "Voice of the Cotton Bowl" began on NBC with the radio broadcast of the 1951 game. Three years later he teamed up with Red Grange for the telecast of the infamous 1954 Cotton Bowl Classic. His streak of 17 consecutive Cotton Bowl broadcasts began with the 1970 Classic and ended with his retirement following the 1986 Cotton Bowl. Nelson's unique delivery style, those colorful test-pattern sportcoats, and his intense love for college football made Big D a special place to be every New Year's Day.
Roger Staubach Navy
Classic Memories1964 Classic: Texas 28, Navy 6
StatisticsHt. 6-2 Wt. 193 Class: Junior Position: Quarterback Hometown: Cincinnati, Ohio Rushing: 12 attempts, -47 yards, 1 TD Passing: 21-31-1, 228 yards
If Dallas only knew what the future held when Roger Staubach, Navy's junior quarterback, brought his Heisman Trophy to the 1964 Cotton Bowl Classic. In a dream matchup that pitted No. 1 Texas vs. No. 2 Navy, Staubach gave football fans something to get excited about. Despite Navy's loss to the Longhorns, he was brilliant in defeat. Staubach completed an astounding 21 passes for 228 yards. However, it was Staubach's nimble feet that got Navy into the end zone that day against Texas. Late in the fourth quarter, he ran two yards for the Midshipmen's lone touchdown. At the time, no one realized that "Captain America" was about to find a home. His efforts for the Cotton Bowl didn't end on the playing field. As a Dallas civic leader and a former color analyst for CBS, Roger Staubach has established a lasting relationship with Dallas' New Year's Day Classic.
Jim Swink TCU
Classic Memories1956 Classic: Mississippi 14, TCU 13 1957 Classic: TCU 28, Syracuse 27
StatisticsHt. 6-1 Wt. 185 Class: Junior/Senior Position: Halfback Hometown: Rusk, Texas 1956 Rushing: 19 attempts, 107 yards, 2 TDs 1957 Rushing: 12 carries, 41 yards, 1 TD 1957 Receiving: 4 receptions, 60 yards 1956 Punt Returns: 4 returns, 55 yards (one for 43 yards) 1957 Kickoff Returns: 2 returns, 57 yards
Jim Swink lived for the big play. Throughout his career, the Rusk Rambler left defenders grasping in air as the elusive halfback turned long, broken field runs into points. With his gliding, side-stepping running style, Swink was poetry in motion. He scored twice in TCU's narrow 14-13 loss to Ole Miss in the 1956 Classic. His first touchdown was a short, one-yard burst, but the second score came on a dazzling 39-yard sprint over right tackle. Swink returned to the Cotton Bowl a year later for the Frogs' celebrated duel with Syracuse and Jim Brown. True to form, Swink scored what proved to be TCU's winning touchdown, the 35th of his career, on a three-yard blast early in the fourth quarter. The score pushed TCU to a 28-14 advantage and a cushion that Syracuse could not overcome.
