Wow! What an amazing day. This was a surreal tour. We decided to do the green causeway tour and it was spectacular . During the tour I mentioned to the guide that my great grandmother owned a business in Cork on Barrack St. A shop called Jacks where she sold used clothing. I didn’t share anything else. So we continue the tour and on our last stop he brought us to Shalom Park. It was a Jewish park in the Jewish quarters.
I stood there in awe and finally told him my family was Jewish and coming here was special. As we were chatting a man and women overheard us and began sharing that each Dec for Hanukkah there are candles lit up in Shalom Park.
I decided to share with these two strangers that my great grandmother lived in Cork and operated a business called Jacks and the woman asked her surname and I said Mrs Sieff.
Wait ! Wait!! And she said “0h Mrs Sieff owned a shop that sold used clothes and other items and then she said …. Jimmy was a friend of theirs and Jimmy would go by every Saturday to turn on the stove for my great grandma.
I couldn’t believe it ! In that exact moment my great grandma was looking down and was saying … I’m glad you came to my home town.
After that the guide took us to view the last standing Synagogue and a memory plate on the bridge for a brave women that helped rescue hundreds of Jewish children during the war. It was a spectacular tour that I’ll never forget it .
