I've got about nine million things to do, and it was making me a bit 🥴. So I took a step back from all of them for a bit, and did this instead. Please admire the gloriousness of my autumn ribbon wreath.

It's my birthday today. This beautiful little one should have celebrated her 41st birthday on the day I was born, and her 88th birthday today. Instead, she was sent to Auschwitz less than a month after her 7th birthday. It matters that we remember her.
27 April 1937 | Czech Jewish girl, Ruth Fischerová, was born in Prague.
She was deported from Theresienstadt ghetto to #Auschwitz on 18 May 1944. She was placed in the family camp BIIb at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. She did not survive.
