Triumph at the Ouija Board (Nostalgia)

“Triumph at the Ouija Board,” by Martin V. Lippman. Generations, December 1979. (Nostalgia)A paralyzed uncle, a Ouija board, and a rare moment of victory. As young Martin spells out messages, he sees in his uncle’s delighted eyes that even small triumphs matter when life gives you few....Next Generations: Turning the Page presents audio recordings from the Jewish Museum of Maryland's magazine, Generations. The Jewish Museum of Maryland’s Generations magazine, published from 1978 to 2012, offered 30 issues of insightful stories from more than 180 contributors, amateur and professional writers alike. Covering a wide range of topics, it became a cornerstone for sharing Maryland’s Jewish history and culture. More than a decade after its final issue, we are excited to reopen our transformed museum with an exhibit that reactivates Generations and explores the themes of Nostalgia, Food, and Migration.
