When I was 10 years old my auntie JenJen brought me my first typewriter.......... I always loved to write, not sure why I never majored in journalism but I have always had a passion for writing. When I was a teenager I attended this all girls group called Family Matters, the director of the program Kim Delong, decided some of the girls that was a part of a sub group, The Leadership Core, would get together and do a dance for her church. Right away I let Kim know due to my lack of rhythm, I would not be participating. Kim was like okay well since you can’t dance what can you do? Right away I was like I can write! In the end, the performance turned out beautiful!! The other girls did this dance off this song Black On Black Crime by Stanley, from Boyz in the Hood soundtrack. In the middle of the dance the other girls froze, and then I came on the stage and I read my poem Soon Hope Will Come, it was super dope! I wrote Soon Hope Will Come in a matter of minutes, which made me realize that I had a gift. I know there is a video tape out there of our performance I would love for it to surface. It has always been a dream of mine to write a poem book. Under The Ghetto Spotlight is a collection of some of my best pieces. Each Poem has a special meaning to me and was wrote from my heart. Another one of my favorite poems is the one titled Jaden. I was inspired to write that poem on behalf of my nephew, Jayden(I named him) who was diagnosed with a chromosome disorder, Tetrasomy 18p. When he was born, Jayden Could not speak and did not have a voice, In the poem Jaden, I was speaking on his behalf and I gave him a voice through my poetry. Under the ghetto Spotlight is an expression of me, and again I greatly appreciate everyone who has took the time out to read my words.

In Warsaw Ghetto Police, Katarzyna Person shines a spotlight on the lawyers, engineers, young yeshiva graduates, and sons of connected businessmen who, in the autumn of 1940, joined the newly formed Jewish Order Service. Person tracks the everyday life of policemen as their involvement with the horrors of ghetto life gradually increased. Facing and engaging with brutality, corruption, and the degradation and humiliation of their own people, these policemen found it virtually impossible to exercise individual agency. While some saw the Jewish police as fellow victims, others viewed them as a more dangerous threat than the German occupation authorities; both were held responsible for the destruction of a historically important and thriving community. Person emphasizes the complexity of the situation, the policemen's place in the network of social life in the ghetto, and the difficulty behind the choices that they made. By placing the actions of the Jewish Order Service in historical context, she explores both the decisions that its members were forced to make and the consequences of those actions. Featuring testimonies of members of the Jewish Order Service, and of others who could see them as they themselves could not, Warsaw Ghetto Police brings these impossible situations to life. It also demonstrates how a community chooses to remember those whose allegiances did not seem clear. Published in Association with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Just as European Jews were being emancipated and ghettos in their original form—compulsory, enclosed spaces designed to segregate—were being dismantled, use of the word ghetto surged in Europe and spread around the globe. Tracing the curious path of this loaded word from its first use in sixteenth-century Venice to the present turns out to be more than an adventure in linguistics. Few words are as ideologically charged as ghetto. Its early uses centered on two cities: Venice, where it referred to the segregation of the Jews in 1516, and Rome, where the ghetto survived until the fall of the Papal States in 1870, long after it had ceased to exist elsewhere. Ghetto: The History of a Word offers a fascinating account of the changing nuances of this slippery term, from its coinage to the present day. It details how the ghetto emerged as an ambivalent metaphor for “premodern” Judaism in the nineteenth century and how it was later revived to refer to everything from densely populated Jewish immigrant enclaves in modern cities to the hypersegregated holding pens of Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe. We see how this ever-evolving word traveled across the Atlantic Ocean, settled into New York’s Lower East Side and Chicago’s Near West Side, then came to be more closely associated with African Americans than with Jews. Chronicling this sinuous transatlantic odyssey, Daniel B. Schwartz reveals how the history of ghettos is tied up with the struggle and argument over the meaning of a word. Paradoxically, the term ghetto came to loom larger in discourse about Jews when Jews were no longer required to live in legal ghettos. At a time when the Jewish associations have been largely eclipsed, Ghetto retrieves the history of a disturbingly resilient word.

The operative role of the photographic media in making and remaking history History is increasingly made in images, not only because its records are largely photographic but also because our ideas about the past are formed in visual terms. This book offers a discussion of contemporary art practices which question the received notions of historical representations after the pivotal changes of 1989 in Europe. These art practices reveal, in different ways, the operative role of the photographic media in making and remaking history. Not limited to a particular artistic medium, they demonstrate how history is forged through enacting or re-enacting its past forms, while, on the other hand, they indicate how copying and quoting can contribute to creating a new, operative aesthetics. By foregrounding a performative character of images, art is shown to construct an alternative knowledge of the past. Among others the works of the following artists are discussed in this book: Zofia Kulik, Yael Bartana, Harun Farocki and Andrej Ujică, Luc Tuymans, Dierk Schmidt.
