Ha llegado el momento de hacer historia nuevamente. Más de una década después de que EPICA grabara el icónico disco y video Retrospect y 15 años después de The Classical Conspiracy, ¡EPICA se alista para de subir al escenario con una orquesta y un coro completos una vez más! Bajo el título de The Symphonic Synergy, el sexteto tocará dos conciertos masivos tipo ‘Epica y Orquesta’. Uno en su natal Países Bajos y otro en su amado México.

El primer concierto se llevará a cabo el 20 de septiembre de 2024 en AFAS Live de Ámsterdam, mientras que la Ciudad de México tendrá la oportunidad de vivirlo en uno de los lugares más emblemáticos de América Latina, el Auditorio Nacional de la Ciudad de México con capacidad para 10,000 personas, el sábado 7 de diciembre de 2024.

“¡Finalmente, sucederá de nuevo!”, comenta Coen Janssen. “¡Epica tocará junto con una orquesta y un coro completos! ¡Y esta vez incluso llevaremos el espectáculo a México para tocar estos espectáculos de 'Symphonic Synergy' en estos lugares icónicos!”

Simone Simons añadió: “¡Tocar con una orquesta y un coro es un sueño absoluto! No puedo esperar a que ‘The Symphonic Synergy’ cobre vida y compartir esta experiencia única con los Epicans”.

La preventa exclusiva para fans registrados en la base de datos de la banda comenzará el próximo miércoles 8 de noviembre a las 5 de la tarde tiempo de Ámsterdam, 10 de la mañana tiempo de la Ciudad México. La venta general comienza el viernes 10 de noviembre a las 10 de la mañana. Para registrarse en el sitio de la banda se puede visitar la página https://www.epica.nl/home

i have this excerpt from Notes from the Warsaw Ghetto: The Journal of Emmanuel Ringelblum printed and framed

Like, I paid an etsy seller to print it for me on the nicest cardstock with the best ink, and then I waited in line and paid a stupid amount of money to have it framed at the Michael's custom framing counter. And I have zero regrets. I've probably posted this excerpt here before but I don't care. It is everything.

The heroic girls, Chajke and Frumke—they are a theme that calls for the pen of a great writer. Boldly they travel back and forth through the cities and towns of Poland. They carry “Aryan” papers identifying them as Poles or Ukrain­ians. One of them even wears a cross, which she never parts with except when in the Ghetto. They are in mortal danger every day. They rely entirely on their “Aryan” faces and on the peasant kerchiefs that cover their heads. Without a mur­mur, without a second’s hesitation, they accept and carry out the most dangerous missions. Is someone needed to travel to Vilna, Bialystok, Lemberg, Kowel, Lublin, Czestochowa, or Radom to smuggle in contraband such as illegal publica­tions, goods, money? The girls volunteer as though it were the most natural thing in the world. Are there comrades who have to be rescued from Vilna, Lublin, or some other city?— They undertake the mission. Nothing stands in their way, nothing deters them. Is it necessary to become friendly with engineers of German trains, so as to be able to travel beyond the frontiers of the Government General of Poland, where people can move about with special papers? They are the ones to do it, simply, without fuss, as though it was their pro­fession. They have traveled from city to city, to places no delegate or Jewish institution had ever reached, such as Wolhynia, Lithuania. They were the first to bring back the tidings about the tragedy of Vilna. They were the first to offer words of encouragement and moral support to the sur­viving remnant of that city. How many times have they looked death in the eyes? How many times have they been arrested and searched? Fortune has smiled on them. They are, in the classic idiom, “emissaries of the community to whom no harm can come.” With what simplicity and modesty have they reported what they accomplished on their journeys, on the trains bearing Polish Christians who have been pressed to work in Germany! The story of the Jewish woman will be a glorious page in the history of Jewry during the present war. And the Chajkes and Frumkes will be the leading figures in this story. For these girls are indefatigable. Just back from Czestochowa, where they imported contraband, in a few hours they’ll be on the move again. And they’re off without a moment’s hesitation, without a minute of rest.

He only namechecks Chaike Grossman and Frumka Plotnicka here, but I can tell you for a fact that he's also referring to Tossia Atlman, Tema Schneiderman, and Lonka Kozybrodska. At least.

So far the count of Jewish women (that I'm aware of) who have responded to "They are a theme that calls for the pen of a great writer" with a book (or long-planned book) are three: me, Dr. Lenore Weitzman (who won't return any of my emails) and Judith Batalion (who did return my emails, had lunch with me, and told me that Dr. Weitzman wouldn't respond to her emails either). I hope more Jewish women--in and out of the academe--continue to take up this call, and I hope they keep getting published and aren't rejected because it's "too similar" to mine and Batalion's. No like seriously like two months after I signed with my agent, and one month after I got my book deal, I received a rejection from a lit agent saying that my book was "too similar" to Batalion's. Ok first of all it's not. I read Batalion's the day it came out, and they're very different books with very different focuses, goals, and approaches; the only thing they have in common is that they're both about this underserved, underappreciated group of amazing women. There SHOULD be multiple books about each and every one of them. There SHOULD be multiple books about one day Tossia spent in Vilna. Every white man who looked sideways at WW2 and the American Civil War have like, 87 terrible books dedicated to them, and I DEMAND at least 3 for each of these women. And 17 for Queen Zivia. (Who does have a biography, written by Bella Gutterman). Plus a biopic. So this post went in a direction.

tl;dr:
