Summer Meets Fall

tomato among mums
Because my white mums are growing right next to a tomato plant (I didn’t plant the tomato plant there; it grew in my flower garden, and I just let it be), I decided to call this post “Summer meets Fall”, with the tomato symbolizing summer the mums symbolizing fall.

dianthus
Here’s a red dianthus, which I bought in the middle of August when it was on sale and I wanted something red in my garden. Wouldn’t it be nice if it survives the New Jersey winter? It was considered an annual, but one never knows.

To participate in Ruby Tuesday, post a photo (or more) with a little red or a LOT of red. Then visit Mary the Teach at http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com/ to submit your link.

Dear Leora,
I was here half an hour ago, and could not comment. Now I see your box is open.
I liked the meeting on red and green tomatoes and the fluffy white chrysanthemum.
How warm and rich your climate must be to grow these "southern" veggies and flowers.
Eia was I there.

Leora, that tomato is divine. We just picked our last Roma on Saturday, and we will be forced to buy store bought tomatoes. Until next summer, that is. I'm afraid summer is really over for this year...

The tomatoes look so mellow and mature; is that a golden yellow tomato? or just a green one waiting to turn red? I grew yellow tomatoes one year in my garden and I loved them but I never had success with them again. Glad that you like my wild red apples, Happy Ruby Tuesday!

Love the bright red dianthus! I hope it makes it through the winter.

:-) The tomatoes look perfect and I like the contrast with the white mums. Very lovely.

Happy Ruby Tuesday!

DearLeora,
I found this in wikipedia about Moritz Rabinowitz.
It is a true story from the war and how Rabinowits came to Norway,made himself a carrier, wrote in the newspapers about the danger of anti semitism, was caught by the Germans and killed was his wife and daughter. I have seen the movie. It is not at all sentimental, only telling the truth.
Every 17thof May, when we celebrate our constitustion, a speach is held and flowers are placed on his statue.
hopefully you can find a way to translate the wikipedia. I could not.

Moritz Rabinowitz
Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopedi

Moritz Rabinowitz, født 20. september 1887, død 27. februar 1942.

Alle i Haugesund har en kleshenger fra M. Rabinowitz i skapet. Bak disse kleshengerne finner vi en eventyrlig historie om en fattig mann som forelsket seg i Haugesund. Rabinowitz ble en av Haugesunds mest fremgangsrike menn - men ble aldri elsket tilbake.

[rediger] Tidlige år:

Moritz Rabinowitz var født i landsbyen Rajgrod i Polen og kom til Bergen i 1909 og til Haugesund i 1911. Gift med Johanne Goldberg (1889-1939), som var datter av Oberkantor Salomon Goldberg i Berlin, kjent for byggingen av synagogen «Friedenstempel» Halensee der. En datter, Edith, gift Reichwald, født i 1918.

I Haugesund åpnet han en liten klesbutikk. Hans idé var å gi bønder, fiskere og arbeidere stilfull mote for en rimelig penge. Dette klarte han. Den lille butikken ble et imperium med egne klesfabrikker og butikker langs hele kysten. Rabinowitz var den eneste jøden i Haugesund i mellomkrigstiden.

Da han kom til Haugesund, bestemte han seg for å bli. Han begynte å importere sko og herreklær fra Tyskland, og åpnet etter hvert butikker i Haugesund, Bergen, Stavanger, Sauda, Egersund og Kristiansand.

I 1938 nådde han et høydepunkt i sin suksess med byggingen av den ultramoderne fabrikken "Condor" i sentrum av Haugesund. Han hadde privatsjåfør, en skinnende Studebaker limousin og over hundre ansatte.

Rabinowitz var en outsider, en som tenkte stort og annerledes - en visjonær. Allerede i 1933 ga han ut en bok der han angrep Hitler og nazismen. Han fortsatte kampen ved å skrive hundrevis av leserbrev i Haugesunds Avis. Han sendte telegrammer til Hindenburg (1932), Roosevelt (1935) og Chamberlain (1938). Da tyskerne kom til Haugesund var de veldig klar over hans antinazistiske virksomhet, og Rabinowitz var den første de ville ta.

[rediger] Arrestasjon og deportasjon

I seks måneder klarte han å holde seg skjult på garder langs Åkrafjorden, men 4. desember 1940 ble han arrestert på Toftekalven. Han ble sendt til Stavanger Kretsfengsel og derfra til Møllergata 19 i Oslo i februar 1941. Deretter til Åneby før retur til Møllergata 19 for deportasjon 22.5.41. Han ble deportert med fangeskipet "Monte Rosa". I Stettin skrev han sitt testament, med sine medfanger som vitner; politimester Rynning-Tønnesen som testamentfullbyrder, politikonstabel Kleppe og major Bache som vitner. Han ble sendt til konsentrasjonsleiren Sachsenhausen hvor han ble sendt på "jødebrakka" og døde der 27. februar 1942. Dødsårsaken var "lungebetennelse".

[rediger] Familiens skjebne

Hans datter Edith (16.8.18-3.3.43), hennes mann Hans Reichwald (29.9.16-17.1.43) og deres sønn Harry (23.11.40-3.3.43), led samme skjebne i Auschwitz. Hans Reichwald ble arrestert 26.10.42 og deportert med Gotenland 26.11.42. Edith med sønnen Harry ble tatt 26.11.42, deportert med Donau 24.2.43 og ført direkte i gasskammeret ved ankomst Auschwitz. Også hans bror Herman, som var bosatt i Bergen, ble drept der.

[rediger] Filmen

Filmen om Rabinowitz, "Mannen som elsket Haugesund", var en publikumssuksess under filmfestivalen i Haugesund, og er utgitt på DVD. I filmen ble mennesker som traff og kjente Rabinowitz intervjuet. Selv 60 år etter krigen falt det noen "uheldige" uttalelser om "den typiske jøden" i filmen. Rundt 1300 mennesker så filmen i Haugesund i løpet av to dager.

På dødsleiet i Sachsenhausen fikk han, gjennom en tysker som senere traff en haugesunder der, sagt følgende: «Hvis du noen gang møter noen fra Haugesund, vil jeg be deg om å hilse fra meg og fortelle dem at de første jeg tenkte på ved siden av min egen familie, var arbeiderne, de ansatte og vennene jeg hadde i byen».

Rabinowitz ble hedret med minnestein sør i Haraldsgata, i Rabinowitzparken. Steinen ble avduket av stortingspresident Jo Benkow 6. mai 1986.

I love the photos, and the contrasts of light and tones. My dianthus plants make it through the winter frost, and come back more full in spring.

Felisol, I will definitely have to see the movie (The Man who Loved Haugesand, about Moritz Rabinowitz). Thanks for your enthusiasm about my mentioning the film.

The red dianthus is so pretty!

My RT entries are posted here and here. Happy Tuesday!

Ann, I guess they turn yellowish on their way from green to red. They are large cherry tomatoes. Really juicy, better than the ones I purposely planted.

Thanks, everyone, for all your comments. Always a pleasure to hear from you.

Judi, thanks for the straw advice. Maybe I'll buy some mulch this fall, and sprinkle it around various plants.

Frumhouse, according to this dirt doctor, dianthus are edible. But I'm not about to try. I've already freaked my Shabbos guests with my nasturtium salads.

Bobbie, I like that first one, too.
Grandma Faith, glad you liked the variety!

The Jewish Side of Me says

Leora: I'm experimenting, made a new blog to see if people would rather read about Jewish things than babysitting. But I'm still the Babysitter, so you can still call me that.

Your welcome! Although that was the first and perhaps only thing I noticed about that picture. Besides for the fact that it's a great clear picture.

Lovely photos. I wonder if mulching that area would help the flowers to winter over? Mine come back every year, but it doesn't freeze much were I live.

Thanks for visiting my Askew To You today. :D

"Summer meets fall." I like that. And I love the pictures. Every year (except this one), I have a tomato plant that pops up somewhere unbidden. Those are always special plants to me.
