Oma's Story of Leaving Germany - My Tribute to Oma

This is the story of a patient fleeing Nazi Germany by boat as a young girl, her family left alone because they already had passports stamped to leave. Before she passed away from chronic kidney disease, I asked if I could share her story. This is my tribute to her on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, a memory of breakfast with my Oma (grandma) as she started to tell us her story of the ship. We love you so much, rest in peace.

COVID-19 Cancelled Your Marathon or Test. Now What? BLM Protests and a Website

Can you imagine spending coronavirus shutdown with your girlfriend's or boyfriend's family? This medical student did just that. Then his Step 1 exam, an 8-hour SAT on steroids, got postponed indefinitely. The test is hundreds of dollars, looming over students all year to potentially decide their specialty. While waiting, he helped his hospital connect online about the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement. He wrote haikus for that website, and tells his story here. This episode was produced in a partnership with Jefferson Covid Stories and Humans of Jefferson. None of the works represent the Jefferson Health System.
