Playa Giron -- 17 April 1961
a land crab's claws
hold on so tightly
to a mangrove root
Remembering the brave men of the 2506 Brigade who fought so
valiantly to gain a beachhead and free their homeland, April 17, 1961.

remembering a brave woman - Julie Bonhoeffer
Just a small basket
filled with early strawberries
carried so proudly
Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer came to his faith and courage genetically. His grandmother, Frau Julie Bonhoeffer, after all defied the Nazis and at age 91 bought strawberries from one of the last Jewish merchants in her hometown. This simple act expressed her solidarity with Jews at a time when their persecution was becoming unbearable.
