If you haven't heard about Ernest's work, it is a must read. Here are a few comments on his work:
At 92, Ernest Rosenthal presents his brilliant intellectual
prose poems ranging on subjects as resonant as the Holocaust that he lived
through, to the twisted-cross irony of the tragic nationalism of Israel tangled
up with the imperialism of the United States in an age of cannibal
consumerism. A book of truths, which is also replete with much humor, as is
necessary in these days when lies are the hottest commodity on the
mockit.

Thanks
for sharing this moving rendition of your horrifying past, tempered by
this retention of moral sanity … Your legacy of survival is inspiring to those
of us who have been mainly spared such harrowing experiences.
With the greatest respect,
Richard Falk
United Nations Special Rapporteur for Human Rights
