A lesbian activist, an anti-war protester and a memoirist Eva Kollisch was a woman rose above tragedy.
By Luke Peteley | [email protected]
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Eva Kollisch, 98, a Jewish refugee who was educated as a teen on Staten Island and later became a noted memoirist and a lesbian rights advocate, died Oct. 10 of a chest infection at her home in Manhattan, according to media reports.
Born in 1926 to a Jewish family outside Vienna, Austria, Kollisch faced persecution from the rising Nazi regime. As war loomed in 1939, Kollisch fled the Holocaust aboard a Kindertransport train, as part of the mass rescue of nearly 10,000 children to Britain prior to the outbreak of the second world war, as detailed by Kveller.
In 1940, she and her brothers arrived in the U.S. and were reunited with their parents in New York; the family would settle in an apartment on Staten Island, according to The New York Times.
A graduate of Curtis High School, Kollisch recounted in a 2016 interview how her early political views were shaped during her time as a student at the school.

“I went to high school on Staten Island and had a couple of years, sort of uninteresting years, in high school,” she said. “But it was safe. Nobody beat me up, nobody called me a Jew b***d or anything like that. And then toward the end of my second year I met a bunch of Trotskyists and it made a big impression on me.”
She continued that she “found a kind of home, an intellectual home. And a home for my own sense of injustice and wanting to make things right, making them OK. They were far from OK.”
After high school, she left Staten Island and worked on an assembly line in Detroit, and as a labor organizer. Despite joining the Trotskyist movement as a teen, Kollisch said she became disillusioned by the overwhelming male leadership.
It wasn’t until 1986 that she met future wife Naomi Replansky, a poet and labor activist. As noted by The New York Times, she first had two marriages to men, Stanley Plastrik in 1942, and Gert Berliner, an abstract expressionist artist and fellow refugee.
While with Berliner, the couple moved to New Mexico, where Kollisch wrote while working as a cook at a uranium mine, and as a social worker. It was there that she gave birth to a son, Uri; he and a grandson are the only immediate survivors. The couple then returned to New York and separated in 1959.
“I didn’t go through this period of great suffering that so many women did in the ‘40s and ‘50s, and by the 1960s, you know, it was a part of my androgyny, really, to have loved some men and to love women,” Kollisch said in a 2004 interview.
Kollisch and Replansky married in 2009.
In 2016, after decades as a couple, Kollisch and Replansky won the Clara Lemlich Social Activist Award; in 2020, the New York Times profiled how the couple were surviving the COVID-19 pandemic together. Replansky died at age 104 in January.
For work, Kollisch was a professor of comparative literature at Sarah Lawrence College, according to Kveller.
In addition to a career as a professor, Kollisch also became a poet and a vocal activist. The Museum of Jewish Heritage notes that “her American arrest came for anti-Vietnam protests; she stood vigil as a Woman in Black, and took part in the Seneca Women’s Encampment.”
Kollisch went on to write two memoirs, “Girl in Movement” (2000) and “The Ground Under My Feet” (2007).

Yukio: Cómo volvistes a tener una forma física?... Satán: Eso no es lo importante aqui, cuatro ojos! Satán: Lo importante es que no aceptes ir a esa misión, porque si mueres, Rin hara muchas pendejadas y una de esas es darle vida a ocho monstruitos manipulares de tiempo!
Si, Satán esta "vivito y coliando" en este Au. El fue el primero en darse cuenta q esos dos handaban raros y un día q Rin fue de visita, le vineron recuerdos de Viernam porque olia igual a como olia Yuri cuando estaba embarazada de los gemelos.
Satán: ¿Por... Por qué hueles asi? Rin: -confundido- Asi cómo…? Satán: -olfatiando- Hueles asquerozo! Te mandaron algún nido y se pegó el olor o que mierda? Hueles a crias!
Unos meses después, Rin lo visitó ya con una panza notoria de embarazo... Fue una charla incomoda y larga... Muy larga.

We did 4 informative illustrations for a social media campaign of an animal rights organization. It is supposed to bring awareness to the cruel methods of bear bile farming in Vietnam and offers solutions on how to stop it.

Hace días, varios cazadores furtivos fueron devorados por leones en Sudáfrica. Las reacciones del tipo “karma”, “merecido”, etc no se hicieron esperar. Que se jodan, y tal. Yo no guardo simpatía por las mafias que matan animales, ninguna. Pero si me permitís algún matiz... Tras enterarme, llamé al director de la reserva para confirmar la noticia. No es la primera vez que sale una fake new similar (link). La policía provincial también confirmó las muertes. ¿Furtivos? Todo indica que sí, pero qué tipo de furtivos. Veamos. Las mafias de caza furtiva (de Viernam y China) están llevando una masacre en Sudáfrica, donde vive el 80% de los rinocerontes del mundo. En Asia se cree que el cuerno de rino cura el cáncer o da vigor sexual. Y, claro, BOOM: en mercado negro, un cuerno de 10kg cuesta 1millón€. Resultado: desde hace 5 años, matan a 3 rinos al día en Sudáfrica. +1000 al año. Y, claro, las mafias se han hecho fuertes: helicópteros, armas pesadas, lentes de visión nocturna y ayuda de autoridades corruptas. Luego están los mataos, los currelas. Y ahí es donde quería llegar Los furtivos en el terreno, como los devorados por leones, son africanos sin recursos, fáciles de reemplazar si les detienen. O si los matan. Si consiguen cuernos, reciben 3500€, una puta fortuna para sus familias. Pero virutillas. (Recordemos: el jefe se saca un millonazo) Y contexto: Cabo Oriental, provincia donde los leones se zamparon a los furtivos, es la más pobre del país. El 76% vive en la pobreza, 1/3 depende de ayuda del gobierno. En época colonial fue una de las zonas donde confiscaron más tierras a los nativos. Robaron, vaya La reserva de Sabuya ocupa 30km cuadrados y una noche cuesta unos 400-500€ aprox. Todo ok, pero por dar perspectiva de la desigualdad. Luego, los tipos devorados por los leones iban a pie, con pan en la mochila para seguir durante días a los rinos. Sin material sofisticado. No voy a defender a los furtivos. Son tipos sin escrúpulos, capaces de cortar el cuerno a un rino aún vivo o disparar a la cría para matar a la madre que no la abandona. Lo digo porque lo he visto. ¿Hijos de puta? Sí. Pero todo esto va de otra cosa Va de mafias internacionales y políticos corruptos, sociedades que consumen sin escrúpulos y mucha pasta. Los tipos muertos por leones son desgraciados, mala gente si queréis, pero el último eslabón de la cadena. A mí su muerte no me alegra, me da pena. Porque, como siempre, los de arriba nunca pagan. Y mientras nosotros aplaudimos cuando los desgraciados pagan con sangre y son despedazados por leones, el negocio sigue. Y a este ritmo, en 20 años los rinos se habrán extinguido. Y ya, era eso, disculpad el ladrillo. Creo que es evidente que no justifico nada, sólo doy contexto. Por si acaso. Esto es lo que les hacen a los rinocerontes. Como la base del cuerno es más grande (y pesa más; ganan más $), les cortan media cara y los dejan morir desangrados. Mierda de mafias. Foto: Brent Stirton

One of several pics today for #veteransday today thanking Black/Hispanic, Gay Air Force veteran Baby Boy, aka Ronald Smith, for his service. He served during the Viernam era, was a Staff Sgt. and B-52 crew chief who worked on planes for NORAD. This is a Black Air Force bear plush he gave me several years ago. I absolutely love it and him. #blacklivesmatter✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #gayvets #blackgayveterans (at Beaverton, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdTLKcMfi5/?igshid=1md41f52qenmp

Letzter Tag der gemeinsamen Reise
Heute gehen wir zuerst ins Kriegsmuseum. Das hat uns gestern auf dem Ausflug ein deutsches Pärchen empfohlen. Das Museum ist super interessant , jedoch werden Fotos unzensiert präsentiert. Auch die Berichte aus Tagebüchern drücken schonungslos die Härte und Brutalität des Krieges aus. Interessant ist auch oft die unterschiedlichen Sichtweisen. Ein wirklich sehr guter Tipp.
Den Rest des Tages schauen wir uns die Stadt an. Erst geht es zum Landmark 81, dem höchsten Gebäude Viernams. Der Turm ist so neu, dass leider erst die ersten 5 der über 80 Stockwerke für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich sind. Dort befindet sich unter anderem ein Austellungsraum von Bentley und Lamborgini.
Danach fahren wir wieder zurück in die Innenstadt. Dort gibt es ein Skydeck, von dem man einen tollen Blick über die Stadt hat .
Um 8 heißt es leider Abschied nehmen. Es war eine super Zeit!

Dear Susan
I’m sorry that I couldn’t respond your email soon because of the difference time zone. I’m very happy to hear that you will visit Vietnam for the first time, therefore, I’m glad to introduce some interesting information about my country.
The weather in Vietnam is very special. The Northern Vietnam has 4 seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter, but in the Southern Vietnam, it has only 2 seasons: dry season and rainy season. It is in summer now so please, bring t-shirts and shorts in your luggage.
Vietnam is a friendly country so you can travel anywhere you want. But I suggest that you should visit Nha Trang City and Da Lat City. Nha Trang is a beach city which has a beautiful coast and a lot of delicious seafood restaurant. Otherwise, Da Lat City is located in highland, it is called “The flower city” because the local people grow a lot of beautiful flowers, thanks to the warm weather here.
Each city has different cuisines and souvenirs so you can buy anything you like for your family
I hope you will enjoy your trip in Vietnam
