Rochelle Blackman Slivka lived in Vilna, Poland and was born in 1922. During World War II, the SS forced all Jews in Vilna into a ghetto surrounded by guards and walls. The SS then took Jews from the ghetto, including those living in a Jewish home for the aged and worshipping at the city's largest synagogue, and drove them to Ponary outside Vilna where they were shot and killed. Life in the ghetto was difficult, with 2-3 families crammed into small apartments.

Częstochowa
Czestochowa is a city in southern Poland located on the Warta River with nearly 249,000 inhabitants. It is historically part of Lesser Poland but is now in the Silesian Voivodeship. Czestochowa is known for the famous Pauline monastery of Jasna Gora, home to the Black Madonna painting which attracts millions of pilgrims annually. The city was founded in the 11th century and received its town charter in the 14th century, growing around the monastery and pilgrimage site. Czestochowa saw occupation by Prussia and Russia in the 18th century and by Nazi Germany during World War II, when around 45,000 local Jews were murdered by the Germans.
FROM WARSAW TO ROME jckt-1
In May 1944, 40,000 Polish soldiers captured the strategic hilltops of Monte Cassino in Italy, ending one of the bloodiest battles of World War 2 for the Western Allies. This Polish corps was formed after Polish troops were freed from Soviet prisoner camps through negotiations, and evacuated from the Soviet Union to Iran in 1942 to join the British army. However, the book reveals that the Allied powers failed to properly plan for the Polish soldiers after the war, leading to poor treatment of these loyal troops after the conflict ended. The book examines the history of the exiled Polish army in the east and their contributions and later mistreatment by Britain and other allies. It makes extensive use of archives to tell the story of the Polish II Corps

An introduction to Poland – economic landscape, culture
Poland has enormous economic potential due to its large, young, skilled population and position between Germany and Russia. It offers opportunities in investment, outsourcing, sourcing, and its growing consumer market. While Poles value survival, heritage, and family, regional stereotypes exist - Western Poles are seen as Germanic and organized, Southern Poles are relaxed and cultural, and Eastern Poles are unpredictable but creative. Business etiquette requires conservative dress, toasting at meals, and gift-giving for home visits. Both old and young managers exist, and networks are important.

The Holocaust
The document summarizes the persecution and genocide of Jews in Europe during the Holocaust. It describes how Jews had faced deep prejudice for centuries and were increasingly targeted in the early 20th century. The rise of Hitler and the Nazis led to the systematic oppression of Jews, stripping of their rights, and confinement to ghettos. The Nazis then implemented the "Final Solution" through concentration camps and death camps, where millions of Jews were executed through mass shootings, gas vans, and gas chambers. By the end, around 6 million Jewish people had been murdered by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust.

Rochelle Blackman Slivka
Rochelle Blackman Slivka was born in 1922 in Vilna, Poland and witnessed the death of her mother during the Holocaust. She and her sister were led on a death march where they had to use clothes to keep their feet from freezing. They were imprisoned in concentration camps where they faced forced labor, torture, and possible death. After six weeks, the Soviet troops liberated Rochelle and her sister, who both survived the Holocaust, though the last record of Rochelle was in 1990 with no further information.
The Ghettos
1) A ghetto is an isolated city district where Jews and other victims were confined by Germans during World War II, originally coming from the Jewish quarter in Venice in 1516 that segregated Jews from non-Jews.
2) In order to identify Jews, they were required to wear armbands or patches with the Star of David allowing Nazis to round them up into ghettos faster.
3) Life in the ghettos was horrific - extreme overcrowding, little access to food resulting in starvation, lack of proper clothing and sanitation causing disease, and brutal winters with limited heating.
Kovno ghetto
The Kovno ghetto was established in Lithuania in 1941, initially housing around 29,000 Jews who had been relocated from the city of Kovno and surrounding areas. Conditions in the overcrowded ghetto rapidly deteriorated due to starvation, disease, and mass killings. In an effort to document Nazi atrocities and resist where possible, the Jewish council organized schools, religious services, and cultural programs. They also formed an underground resistance movement. As the ghetto was liquidated between 1943-1944, most inhabitants were deported to concentration camps or killed. By the end of the Holocaust, approximately 500 Jews from Kovno had survived, out of an original population of 35,000-40,000.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Presentation of the OECD Artificial Intelligence Review of Germany

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
