He was living in a room in the house of a widow, Madame Bobières in the village of Sainte-Hermine (Vendée). This arrest was carried out because the Prefect and the Sub-Prefect ordered it. They ordered it because the local Sicherheitspolizei in Poitiers ordered all Jews in the area Read more of this blog post »

“This is me being sad.
Maybe you think I'm being happy in this picture. Really I'm being sad but pretending I'm being happy. I'm doing that because I think people won't like me if I look sad.”
Michael Rosen

“... it's impossible to write the whole, true story of anything. We always leave things out. We quite often put things in. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try not to, we change things. We tell the story in our own way, which might not be the same way someone else would tell it.”
Michael Rosen, Fantastic Mr. Dahl

“dignity” is a term for, as we would now put it, something’s intrinsic value—the value that it has by occupying its appropriate place within God’s creation,”
Michael Rosen, Dignity: Its History and Meaning
