A plane crash in Brooklyn overshadowed her childhood

Good morning It's Tuesday. Today we will meet a woman who wrote a memoir about how her life was influenced almost 65 years ago by a collision in the middle of New York. We will also experience the final day for Mohsen Mahdawi, who was arrested by immigration officers and last month.

Also watch your inbox. After you come your way later, our newsletter in a limited edition, the sprint for the town hall, will be. It is examined how the tensions about the war in Gaza get into the mayor's race and even influenced a parade over the weekend. It is also examined, like another proven political instrument, the children of the candidates when the primary approaches are used on June 24th.

Marty Ross-Dolen went to the Green-Wood Cemetery to be a monument on which the names of her grandparents appeared. The monument is “hidden back there,” she said. “You don't know that people even know about it.”

She herself didn't know much about why the names of her grandparents belonged to the memorial until almost 20 years ago, when she was in the mid -1940s and finally read about something she had almost never talked about when she grew up: a collision with medium air about New York in December 1960.

Her grandparents – the mother and father of her mother – were passengers in one of the two planes.

“The plane crash had been part of my life since I asked my mother where her parents were,” said Ross-Dolen. “I must have been 4. I knew who they were because there were pictures in the house and I was named after my grandmother. But my mother lifted me in silence. In the 1960s there was no language for the processing of grief.”
