United Voices 4 Peace,
Veronica Sabbag, Founder & Chair submitted this story. They launched their first virtual event and digital program in December 2020, during the Covid Pandemic.

The program consisted of a series of documentary screenings, concerts and interviews aimed to address the current systemic social inequalities, with a special focus on gender, age and religion-based discrimination.

It also adressed the topic of the Holocaust and the fight against antisemitism, echoing the voice of a funny, endearing and engaging protagonist, Inge Ginsberg.

Inge, Holocaust survivor, whose life story is detailed in a short documentary film created by Leah Galant for nytimes, https://youtu.be/mQZ_7C2oaLM , found an unlikely avenue to raise her voice through heavy metal music in her 90’s – against all odds – in a way that allowed engagement of younger generations.

She was able to flee Austria and survive life in a refugee camp in Switzerland. After the war, she moved to Hollywood, California and built a new life as a composer for Nat King Cole, Doris Day and others.

In an assertion of her presence on earth, she started a heavy metal band at the age of 93. Inge & the TritoneKings, had major TV appearances, made the front page in newspapers across the globe. She caught the eye and ear of the metal world after her appearance on Switzerland’s Got Talent and in the Eurovision Song Contest.

The first documentary screening and live concert of this series was streamed from Barcelona on December 17th, in partnership with Manhattan Camerata, Amics UNESCO Bcn, Mozaika BCN & LICRA. This first event featured the “Death Metal Grandma” documentary, followed by a live concert performed by her versatil band. Coinciding with Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, it brought an impactful message of peace, hope, union and inclusiveness, creating a fertile ground for social change.

Once more, the metal world was captivated by her journey. Read https://www.themetalcircus.com/reportajes/death-metal-grandma-inge-ginsberg/

The event was preceded by a pre-screening session at Amics de la Unesco also in Barcelona : https://youtu.be/pMON-7fkvK8

This never before disclosed video, showcasing the 99 years old DMG was recorded in May 2021, on the occasion of UV4PEACE Founder & Chair, Veronica Sabbag’s visit to a care home in Zurich.

It served as the basis of a later Zoom virtual session on June 5th, in the context of “the Voice of the Silence” – Samantha Rodriguez and “Diario Judio de Mexico” – Isaac Ajzen, missions to raise awareness on the Holocaust. https://www.facebook.com/thevoiceofthesilenceproject/videos/870387663576049/

Veronica promised Inge she will visit her as soon as the Covid pandemic restrictions would be lifted. This visit and interview was an attempt to immortilize her legacy. At the end her visit Inge promised to visit Veronica in Barcelona. She passed a month later.

A new documentary screening took place in New York, on January 27th at the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in Soho. Inge, would have been 100 years on that date, coinciding with the Holocaust Remembrance Day.

To honor her memory and continue her legacy, UV4PEACE dropped on that occasion a 5-piece “Death Metal Grandma NFT Collection” in OpenSea : https://opensea.io/collection/deathmetalgrandma, in partnership with Tritoneking & ManhattanCamerata.

“The Nazis said that their Third Reich would last 1000 years. It didn’t. But Inge lived to 99. Now she will live forever in the blockchain. There is no tribute more fitting for such an inspiring and modern woman. It’s poetic justice”.

Smell of a Woman!

This is one of the best posts I have read about a Woman … please read it completely … it’s worth it …

Woman……

When God created the Woman, He worked late on Friday …….

An angel came and asked. “Why spend so much time on it?”

Replied the lord. “Did you see all the specifications I had to meet in order to design it?”

● She must function in all kinds of situations.
● She must be able to adopt several children at once.
● Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart.
● She must do it all with just two hands.
● She heals herself when she is sick and can work 18 hours a day.

The Angel was impressed “Only two hands ….. impossible!

And this is the standard model? ”

The angel approached and touched the Woman.
“But you made her so soft, Lord.”
“She’s soft,” God said.
“But I made her Strong. You can not imagine what she can endure and overcome”

“Can she think?” Asked the angel …
Replied the lord. “Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate.”

The angel touched her cheek ….
“God, this piece seems to be leaking! You’ve put too much of a burden on it.”
“She’s not leaking … it’s a tear.” The Lord corrected the angel …

“What is it for?” Asked the angel ……
Said the lord. “Tears are her way of expressing her sorrow, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.” …

It made a great impression on the angel,
“God, you’re a genius. You thought of everything.
A truly wonderful Woman ”

Said the Lord. “Indeed she is.
■ She has the power to amaze a man.
■ She can handle troubles and carry heavy loads.
■ She holds happiness, love and opinions.
■ She smiles when she feels like screaming.
■ She sings when she feels like crying, cries when she’s happy and laughs when she’s scared.
■ She fights for what she believes in.
■ Her love is unconditional.
“Her heart breaks when a relative or friend dies, but she finds the strength to continue living.”

The Angel asked: So she is a perfect being?
The Lord replied: No. It has only one drawback.
“She often forgets what she’s worth.”

Send it to all the women you respect ….
And to all the men who respect a Woman.

Being a woman is invaluable
??????

Pass this on to every woman in your touch to make her feel proud of herself.* ?
