Barbara Brinah's Skeleton

 "Zachor." "Thou shalt remember."

This blog is about the sister I was never privileged to meet, Barbara Brinah Doe, and whom my family and the Jewish community have chosen to wipe out of memory, annihilate her completely from the world. I allege she was murdered by extremely close relatives and thrown like a Holocaust victim in the cellar of the Eldridge Street Synagogue and burned, just as the Nazis would have done to her. But with their victims, we say Zachor, Remember. With Barbara, I'm told, Forget. Ignore. Delete. Well, sorry; no can do. See below to read about my sister's fighting, even after death, to get justice. And read how badly Judge Bookson wants that skeleton back...how does he know the skeleton did not have family who want to bury her? Very suspicious. "Not an inkling?" Methinks he dost protest too much. "Unsavory story.'' How does a random Betty Sandler know details of a veritable mini-series, while the police apparently know nada? Can't even figure out the sex of an adult skeleton? Highly unlikely. Experts can determine the sex of fossilized, mummified remains from prehistoric times. Case must be re-opened. Immediately.
