the Torah was rescued in the middle of the Third Reich I ended up in dozens of living rooms and kitchens interviewing the village Jews who fled Hitler only Germans remembered by most as decent people Bad Times: Echoes of My Father’s German Village,” published in 2008 with refrains that I kept discovering in my new book a surprise because I was focusing on my assimilated American life I would love to say that half of my father’s village rescued the Torah plus a handful of others that buried two Torah breastplates and a sword owned by a Jewish war hero from World War I backed them up: Many neighbors were decent people They hated Hitler’s Germany and its betrayal And then a fourth — these Christians and Jews told overlapping stories of small decencies: how the shoemaker fixed Jewish shoes and shared his ration cards How the barber cut Jewish hair under the sign “No Jews Allowed Here.” How the former mayor’s wife lent her good raincoat to someone heading to the East How the farmer’s daughter cleaned the house of washed and brought food to her old Jewish neighbor How the shopkeeper gave food over the back fence at night How a farmer who had power of attorney over Jewish fields returned the fields after the war How the three Catholic nuns who were nurses kept treating sick Jews until they were reassigned to another village far away How the mayor kept helping the Jews until he was transferred How the priest spoke out against what was happening to the Jews in a sermon until he was severely reprimanded How the head of Hitler Youth lighted the Shabbat candles for the Jewish youth group that met in the same building on Friday nights How someone let the Jewish schoolteacher file an official complaint about the vandals in the Jewish cemetery in 1940 “Unheard of!” How a farm wife said at the farmers’ meeting I will not force Jews to work for me on their Sabbath.” How someone hid the plaque of the Jewish war veteran that died during WW1 that I saw in the town hall of the village How neighbors helped a half-Jewish family live in the village throughout the war How the carpenters fixed the Jewish windows after Kristallnacht  and were sent to the Front a week later “as punishment,” and none came back I would feel better had I done any or many of those small acts And if I had known that others were also doing them But decency is often a solitary act; it is evil that draws the noisy crowd Holocaust historians have a hierarchy of goodness for those days perpetrators  on the bottom and one notch up are bystanders  I read there’s a fourth category: the upstanders I thought: these are the ones in my catalog of small decencies no upstander from my father’s village is named as a righteous Christian; their deeds were too small for public recognition these former neighbors have been building a bridge of reconciliation they exchanged visits between their Schwarzwald village and the Israeli moshav telling the history of the local Jews in German and Hebrew beginning with the first family who came from Poland in 1645 and ending with the last group of Jews deported in 1942 who bought the farmhouse down the road from the old Jewish cemetery and became interested in the former local Jews who were dedicated to keeping the lessons of the Holocaust alive they spearheaded an exhibition called “Ort der Zuflucht und Verheissung how a group of village Jews escaped Hitler and started again in Israel Over 5,000 Germans from southwest Germany came to see the exhibit the exhibition went to the moshav  in Israel—and on to Jerusalem Central to the exhibit was a photo of the rescued Torah with its soiled edges It inspired many Germans to visit the original still mounted in the Memorial Room of the moshav  a symbol of survival and one policeman’s decency But the other small decencies that I’d discovered I wish the list of other small acts had traveled with the exhibit I wish bystanders everywhere would read them and imagine new possibilities for defying the haters who have dominated our headlines probably only 15% of the villagers were upstanders during the Third Reich But what if 80% had risked small acts of decency and defiance This week I read how the citizens of very conservative Morristown Tennessee raised $60,000 to help their Latino neighbors after an ICE factory raid broke up the lives of eighty-nine families a salesman who had voted for Trump in 2016 and was “indifferent to the anti-immigrant invective until the raid,” according to reporter Jonathan Blitzer who interviewed him — contributed Smith said he had second thoughts: “I am a Christian; God loves everybody equally and I never had a problem with anyone being here.” His pastor confirms that such feelings led to raising $60,000: “The people in the middle have had their hearts soften because of the raid.” In other words a clear example of bystanders becoming upstanders If only the story had made front-page news in major newspapers and trended on Twitter; but I found it in a “New Yorker” daily email This week I received an invitation to attend the 80th birthday celebration of the moshav the German publishing couple in my father’s village who are determined as ever to keep Germans and Jews remembering the past together: As we told you in our summer 2017 newsletter we would like to visit Israel with a delegation from Horb/Rexingen in the fall and also spend some days in Shavei Tzion…It would be wonderful if this day could see a big get-together of Shavei Tzion families and friends from all over the world please get in touch with Menachem…We hope to see you all again in Shavei Tzion this October I hope to go — my small gesture in the ongoing need to build bridges of connection and honor decency Mimi Schwartz is an award-winning, socially conscious American author, educator and public speaker.

announced that Holcim Germany received funding to construct a carbon capture demonstration plant using CPT’s membrane technology a company using advanced membrane carbon capture technology announced that Holcim Germany has received funding approval from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) towards the construction of a carbon capture demonstration plant using CPT’s membrane technology At the core of the cooperation between the two companies is the construction of a 10,000 tons per annum CO2 capture plant based on CPT’s innovative membrane capture process The chemical-free process uses significantly less energy than established carbon capture technologies and can be powered entirely from renewable electrical power making it an environmentally friendly technology choice The demonstration facility will have a one-year active test phase during which the innovative technology will be investigated in long-term commercial operation the plant would be gradually expanded so that after the final expansion stage the plant can separate around 90 per cent of the CO2 emissions from the Höver cement plant CPT’s Managing Director said: “We are delighted that Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action has approved the grant funding to Holcim for the Demonstration plant at Höver Construction of the demonstration plant is about to start and we look forward to continuing our work with Holcim and the team at Höver and helping them to meet their decarbonisation objectives and further proving up the commerciality of our membrane capture technology.” Xcel Energy will build a 280-km transmission line linking clean energy from southwest Minnesota to over 1 million homes across the Upper Midwest includes new and upgraded substations to
