Re: "die Stimme"

<x-charset windows-1255>I am a First and Second generation. (Second because of my age and first
because of being there - Transnistria as an infant). I speak good German and
Read as well. Sorry but I am not Interested in "Die Stimme".
I answered the public demand for the second generation to register, but
nobody was interested.
