This is a book about MY family and its History
stories of Our Fathers: A Multi-Generational Narrative of the Gazan Family Through Sorrow and Triumph
Harold Gazan. Springtree House Publishers: Lansing, MI, 2006. Pp. 290. $49.95, hardcover. ISBN: 0-9770646-0-3.
In the preface to his book, the author states: “I write about our ancestors not because they were leaders of armies or captains of industry, but simply because they were our predecessors and therefore are a part of who we are.” Because Gazan has taken such care to reveal the historical contexts in which various members of his family have lived, the reader understands anew that all of our lives—Gazans and non-Gazans alike—are intertwined.
This narrative begins with the birth in 1720 of Marcus Levie-zoon, a Polish Jew. When he was about 20 years old, he left Poland to begin a new life in the Netherlands. Not content just to record that his first known progenitor migrated from one country to another, Gazan carefully and methodically chronicles the rise of anti-Semitism (beginning in the Middle Ages) in Europe, so the reader understands the sociological, economic, political, and religious forces that caused many Jews to seek out the safe haven that life in the Netherlands offered.
It is also in this section we learn that it was “The imposition of the Napoleonic Code that resulted in the widespread practice of attaching a surname to a person’s given name.” Many of these new surnames derived from a person’s appearance, occupation, or place of residence. Gazan comes from the Hebrew word Chazan, meaning cantor.
The most gripping parts of the book are those that most clearly give the book a significance beyond the Gazan family. These parts detail the impact of the Holocaust on the lives of European Jews.
Gazan recounts that in 1809, when an ancestor named Aron Izak Gazan moved to Middel-harnis in the Netherlands, an estimated 50 Jews lived there and in the neighboring community of Sommelsdijk. By 1904 the Jewish population had grown to about 100. By the end of World War II, Middelharnis had just four Jews, the ones who had been successfully hidden. And, he reports, “There were no Gazans among the survivors.”
More than 50 members of Harold Gazan’s family perished in the Holocaust. During the 27 years he worked on this book, the author and his wife, Nancy, made many trips to Europe to collect historical records. Some of those records are chilling, indeed.
European Dutch so from The Netherlands and proud of it too
Married to the most amazing man i ever met
The power to be powerless... Women are strong. Women are wise. Women are capable. Women are elegant. Women are intelligent. Women are... so much more Why should someone with all features willingly surrender all power over to her man? .. Because she likes/needs to submit and others like/need to dominante
this is for my Daughter
I didn't have the perfect words
For every time you cried
I didn't always do what's right
Sometimes I even lied
I did some things you thought were mean
And hurt your feelings too
There were some days when it was hard
To give my time to you
I missed some of the moments when
You needed some advice
My days were sometimes filled with stress
I wasn't very nice
I didn't buy alot of things
Your friends got to enjoy
You didn't have the name brand clothes
Or all the newest toys
Now here I sit, much older now
And wondering makes me sad
How can I call myself a Mom
When I handled it so bad?
Then I think about the times
When I could make you smile
And when I knew the truth would hurt
I hid it for awhile
I tried to teach you right from wrong
The only way I knew
I worked each day to pay the bills
So I could care for you
I tried to make the best of time
When it was hard to find
And though I may have seemed too tired
I really didn't mind
I bought the things I thought were best
With what I had to spend
If by some chance I got a break
I tried to make amends
But all this doesn't mean a thing
When looking back through time
It doesn't help to ease my guilt
It isn't worth a dime
Now thinking back about it all
I hope you understand
The way I brought you up may not
Have gone as well as planned
But nothing ever goes just right
And no one wrote a book
So if I want to find the truth
I merely have to look
What tells me that I am your Mom
Is when I hear you say
To others, words I've said to you
To get you through the day
What tells me that I am your Mom
Is when I hear you cry
Then my heart breaks in pieces
And I feel like I could die
What tells me that I am your Mom
Is the fear that grips my heart
When I hear of a tragedy
And we're so far apart
What tells me that I am your Mom
Is when I'm filled with pride
That you have done your very best
When taking life in stride
Perhaps I'm not the perfect Mom
Mistakes, I've made my share
I could have done a better job
Of that I am aware
But in my heart I know one thing
I love you more each day
And nothing makes me prouder then
Being your Mom today.

the layers hide the innocence of me
but i need the freedom so i can be free
but who hears my call
and who hears my screams

my body aches
my mind is empty
soul is white with a touch of black

deep down i know what i did was right
but why does it hurt so much
i cry out for you when i eat sleep

never a minute away
absorbed by all the feelings
i cry for you pray for you
goodbye my lil one
i love you forever and a day
your mother.....

How beautifull is the summerskye
orange shades fall over the meadows of the land
birds whistel the sounds of the day Goodbye
bats come out and seek their prey silently
oh how beautifull isthe summerskye
filled with love and laughter and full of life
people walk hand in hand quietly
a stolen kiss a perfect love
My love

i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
Edward Estlin Cummings
