News Cafe


① memo 20181121 ~ News Cafe ~ Colorful people at sunset on Ocean Drive in the Art Deco District of Miami Beach, Florida, earlier this month.
Anecdote – Twenty years ago I ate diner here whenever possible while working 24/7 for 3 weeks at the Diabetes Research Institute in Miami. With a (noisy) room in the nearby Adrian Hotels (used by foreign workers – now gone) on Ocean Drive next to the Versace Mansion for just $ 100 a week ! – about the same as the parking fee a week in the nearby Miami Beach Municipal Parking Garage. An Italian restaurant at the corner in that building would set up their restaurant every day again – install pots and pans, table and chairs , everything … ! – and take everything down/away again at the end of the working day – that was early morning actually – because dancing in 11th street around the corner would go on till around 3-5 AM … I noticed those nights that I woke up because of telephone calls from a lady talking some South American language , perhaps trying to contact her son who once lived there I guess ;)

Trailer

The producers of Transport XX to Auschwitz and Defending Holocaust History are proudly bringing to the screen, the inspirational film, From Buchenwald to Hollywood, The Robert Clary Story, about a Hollywood legend, an internationally known actor, Broadway star, singer, artist, author and Holocaust lecturer.

Mr. Clary is widely known for his role as Corporal Lebeau on the long running TV series Hogan’s Heroes. What is little known by the public is that Robert’s real last name is Widerman, and in 1942 at the age of 16, he and thirteen members of his family were rounded up in Paris, France and deported by the Nazis to concentration camps. He was the only one to survive, having endured 31 months in four Nazi camps and a death march until his liberation from Buchenwald by the U.S. Army on April 11, 1945. He was discovered singing in a Paris nightclub in 1947, signed to a recording contract and brought to the United States in 1949 where he met Merv Griffin, who introduced him to Eddie and Ida Cantor and their daughter, Natalie, who he would later marry.
