I'm Romany Gypsy. My people died with yours. Thank you for your beautiful work. Truth is beauty.

[@arthurgordonsimferopol]

We love You,Beverly..

[@reneemarlin-bennett6712]

@Beverly, When my great great grandmother was a small child in Poland, she wandered in the forest and got lost. A Romany found her and reunited her with her family in the Jewish settlement. To save a life is to save the world. Our people died together - and we lived as neighbors once. My parents always taught me to honor the Romany people.

[@BytomGirl]

Bless you Beverly... See film Train La Vie, fantasy about Jews and Gypsies trying to escape Nazis and there is a beautiful scene of all of them dancing together in the field. I went to a Gypsy Festival in Poland, there were 30.000 people in audience. I was there with artist friends. It was beautiful. I also have 2 friends, twin sisters who are Jewish but sang in a very popular Gypsy group from Poland Roma.

Hi. I live in Brest (Brisk in Yiddish) now, and visit Czarnawczyce very offen. But I never heard about Mariam Nirenberg. Also like other habitants of Czarnawczyce. We Belarusians remember about our lost neighbors Jews and Polishs and their cultures. Thank you for this video. Not far from Czarnaczyce is placed little town Kamianiets (Kamieniec), discribed by Yehezkel Kotik in his literature.

[@kylie3893]

I’m Jewish and my grandpa was from Brest. When he was born when it was still Brest Litovsk and under Polish rule. He was born and technically lived in Terespol but would spend a lot of his time in Brest. His stories were always very sad, he left in 1921 but he suffered severe ptsd until he passed.

[@ibnyahud]

it's crazy that even in America so many Jews have last names that are namesakes of these towns you are talking about a world nearly lost...

[@valers1718]

@@ibnyahud for example Brisker, Slutsker or Pinsker. In Belarus and Lithuania was placed so called Kingdom of Litvaks. In the end of 19 century Jews from Belarus had started to emigrate to another towns of Russian Empire especially to Odessa. But after first ''pogroms'' in the territory of Ukraine they began to emigrate to America. And that process of emigration was long untill WW2 started in 1939.
