Title: How reading the story of a Holocaust survivor changed the life of an inventor, environmentalist and Hong Kong educator
- Cesar Jung-Harada remembers Nathan Prochownik as a grandfather figure; his widow gave him the book he’d written, but told him not to read it until he was 21
- When he read it, Prochownik’s story of deportation from France and the loss of his entire family had a profound effect on the Hong Kong-based entrepreneur.
Mémoires Barbelées, et Après (1995) is the memoirs of Nathan Prochownik, a Polish-French Holocaust survivor who subsequently became a successful businessman.
Cesar Jung-Harada, founder and director of makerspace network and foundation MakerBay, executive director of ocean robotics company Scoutbots, and senior lecturer at the University of Hong Kong, who knew Prochownik personally, tells Richard Lord how it changed his life.
Nathan Prochownik sold one of his old factories to my parents, under the market rate, giving my family a huge amount of creative freedom. My father (sculptor Tetsuo Harada) was a Japanese immigrant in France. My parents were broke. They looked for seven years for a workshop for my father – they looked everywhere in Paris – but everything was too expensive.
Finally, they found an abandoned factory building, with dead cats and drug deals in it. They thought they could maybe afford it, but it was hard to find out who it belonged to. They asked the neighbours, who just knew it was an old Jewish guy. They asked around in the Jewish community, and found him in a local Holocaust survivors’ group.

When they first walked in, he said he wasn’t selling; he was a businessman and he was too busy with other factories. My father has been making art for peace his whole life. He’d just made a memorial for the victims of World War II. He showed a photo of it to Nathan, who realised this Japanese hippie guy and this French girl from the countryside were really serious about this.
It took more than seven years for my parents to fix the factory and transform it into an art studio and home.

Nathan was my grandfather figure. He would come around and check the building and that we were doing well. His wife gave me the book he wrote, after he passed away. Nathan had made the explicit request that I should not read it until I turned 21, because it would be too traumatic.
I was extremely tempted to read it when he passed away, when I was 19, but I also wanted to respect his request. I read it on the night of my 21st birthday: September 16, 2004.
Getting to know him after his departure changed me profoundly. Reading it felt like time travelling. He was a Jewish Polish immigrant in Paris. He talks about being deported. It was just so painful. The thing that traumatised me was that, in his family, he was the only survivor. He lost 40 people.

He describes people disappearing. Then he writes about going back to Paris, working at the factory and eventually becoming the boss. It’s just such a crazy life: from the very bottom to the very top. It’s such an inspiring story.
I wrote a book about my father’s work in 2006, and recently it got turned into a documentary. It just won a bunch of awards and is about to be released in cinemas. Nathan’s book was the inspiration to write my book.

The education of individuals with intellectual disabilities has a long history. There have been significant contributions through the years by doctors, teachers, psychologists, parents and advocates for individuals with disabilities. The recognition that "idiots and imbeciles" could benefit from education has evolved over the years to the current practice of inclusion of individuals with disabilities into "regular" classrooms alongside their contemporaries. The goals of education have also evolved from the mere tolerance for interaction with others to assuming a place in an accepting society. Here are a few individuals who have sought to educate individuals with disabilities as well as the society they live in.

Image for the group Get Pushed, where members sign up for a push, get paired with another willing partner (victim?), and after reviewing their partner's photostream, comes up with a challenge for an image that is outside their comfort zone.
R26: This image is inspired by a challenge (or PUSH) from Krista Mills (www.flickr.com/people/kristakmills/), teacher extraordinaire currently in China and my push partner from the previous round R23. She and I agreed to do a mutual push for R26. The push was to provide an image representing a popular quote from literature, as we both like to read. (Her push response for this round can be found at www.flickr.com/photos/kristakmills/7998778347/in/photostream).
The quote: "The most important thing in life is to stop saying ‘I wish’ and start saying ‘I will.’ Consider nothing impossible, then treat possibilities as probabilities."
DAVID COPPERFIELD, CHARLES DICKENS
Ever since eighth grade, I have know I have a knack for teaching math and science. My senior year in college, I tutored over 150 students in classes varying from Algebra to Calculus 2, physics, chemistry, computer programming and Spanish... My dream (wish) has been since then to teach at community college or University, probably after I retire from my current job, which is in the paint and coatings industry, so the image behind me fits well for what I currently do. . Here, this image shows me giving a presentation (which I DID do) at a technical conference on Friday, somewhat of a joining of what I do and wish to do. And, taking that wish further, I have made the first step to go back to grad school to make it happen.
The way this relates to the quote is that I am now DOING the teaching and mentoring, instead of just wishing I will someday. Needless to say, I respect the teaching profession and give teachers in general a lot of credit for the stress and lack of respect they get.
As always, thanks for your views and comments!
