Three sisters

Image
Today I'll pay a tribute to the 3 daughters of Alberto and Berta Peissahk. One of them is my mother. Rosa, the elder, Marieta, the second one, and Ester, the younger, were born in 4 years intervals. Their stories have misteries and facts we don't know clearly until now. In this picture, Berta is with her 3 daughters in Brazil, as we see in a beautiful hand coloured studio picture. Berta used to sew the daughter's dresses and we can conclude she also made her own gown. Marieta and Ester have the same model dress, clearly hand made. In the pictures below, the three sisters Rosa, Marieta and Ester in different dates. Wearing the same dress model... Rosa, the elder, was born in London, in 30th June of 1926.  A document  obtained in London archives tells that she was born at home and her name originally was Minnie, the same as her grandmother. She hated the name Minnie, and in some moment we don't know exactly when, she turned to the name of Ro...

First Encounters after 50 years

Image
Sergio Coster, USA1962 When I was 18 and living in Porto Alegre, Brazil, I was lucky enough to go to the United States with a scholarship of American Field Service (AFS). The year was 1961 and I was scheduled to live with a Jewish family in Mahtomedi, Minnesota. Which I did, fitting well with the Schloff family – the parents and their three boys. During this time I was in correspondence with Shirley Mosner and she invited me to go to stay with them in Nanuet during Christmas vacation. I secured an unusual permit from the Schloffs and from AFS to travel to NY and so I was the first one to connect the Brazilian and the American branches of the Pessach family after more than 50 years. It was then that I got to know Shirley and David Mosner, their children; Great Uncle Sol and Lisa Passick; Irving and Naomi Passick and their children; and Marvin and Sylvia Passick and their two boys. The visit was over and I went back to Minnesota, with lots of memories and some photos...

O livro de Martha Pargendler Faerman

Image
Nossa prima Martha Pargendler Faermann era esposa do Maurício Faermann, um Pessach por parte de mãe. Ele era filho da tia Golde, e desta forma, era primo da Esther, Rosa, Marieta, da Godi e dos Rubim, entre muitos outros. A partir da esquerda: Esther e Marieta Peissahk,  Mauricio Faermann,  Rosa Peissahk e  senhora não identificada Abro um parêntese para lembrar que o Mauricio era muito próximo de minha mãe, Marieta. Eles eram amigos desde a infância e quando adultos sempre se visitavam, apesar de viverem em cidades diferentes por boa parte da vida. Nasceram no mesmo ano, 1920, e aparecem juntos em algumas fotos de infância, como esta ao lado. Lembro de acompanhar minha mãe a muitas visitas à casa da família Faermann, numa travessa da Avenida Protásio Alves, em Porto Alegre. Bons tempos. Voltando ao assunto principal: em 1990 Martha lançou o livro A Promessa Cumprida, pela Editora Metrópole, em que conta histórias das famílias e passagens da...
