Work at the sewing machine, \u201cDay after day,\u201d and \u201cYear after year\u201d was indeed an occupation, but certainly not a healthy one, as poet Morris Rosenfeld and Lilien seem to argue. Rather, it was a way of working that ultimately robbed the body of its spirit, its vim and its vigor! This piece appeared in the intensely beautiful book, <em>Lieder des Ghetto<\/em> (<em>Songs of the Ghetto<\/em>), a poetic and graphic piece of from a Zionist point of view against what they saw as the spiritually and physically impoverished state of Jews in the Diaspora.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This book is currently displayed in YU Museum\u2019s exhibition here at the Center, <strong>Trail of the Magic Bullet: The Jewish Encounter with Modern Medicine, 1860 \u2013 1960<\/strong>, on view through August 2012. <a href=\"http:\/\/yumuseum.tumblr.com\/MagicBullet\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to find out more about the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>Submitted by Zachary Levine, Yeshiva University Museum.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click on the images above to see enlarged versions for easier viewing\/reading.
