“I will never forget you is a work on family memory, happy and fantasized, confronted with negative memories. […] I rebuild the memory of my family that I did not have, invented a tailor made one where I resurrect all the people who have disappeared, the territories that I did not know and were praised.” (quoted from source)

#FridayFeature of new accessions to the JMM collections: Tabletop clamp meat grinder.
From the donor: “I remember my mother, Joyce Hahn Kahl (born 1924), using this meat grinder at home when I grew up. She would screw it on the kitchen table top or counter top, to grind leftover roast beef and potatoes. The mixture then would be baked in the oven and served for a hash dinner (with ketchup!) … My mother got it from her motherElsa Goldberg Hahn Reisman, who was born (1897) and grew up in NYC… My best guess is that the grinder originally belonged to my great-grandmother, Augusta "Gussie” Cohen Goldberg (born 1864), (Elsa’s mother), who lived in NYC.”
Gift of the family of Joyce Hahn Kahl and Elsa Goldberg Hahn Reisman, JMM 2020.37.1
