Re: [Cz-L] The number of Jews saved by Traian Popovici

Hi,
It was a suggestion only. Of course it's up to the majority or to those who
decide to find the best way of putting the numbers on. He certainly risked
his life saving those he did but, as Hardy put it "horse trading" , I think,
is bellow our dignity. I always feel that dignity is of great importance for
us Jews. They don't really want us to come nor do they really like the idea
of the memorial, who cares if someone saved the Jews instead of doing what
he was ordered to do???
I still remember the sound of their voices "jidan" as we so often hear in
the world nowadays again "Sau Juden" "bloody jews" NOT A THING has changed,
the Ukranians certainly haven't, they killed thousands of Jews in their
pogroms for ever and ever.
As Amos Oz writes in his last novel, when as a child he heard "Juden nach
Palestina" (we heard the same in Rumanian, Polish, French, English) and now
that we are in Palestina they want us to go back where we came from. I
suppose Andy's idea that, that even if we were to go to the moon they won't
like it. We have to face reality however sad it might be.
In the end, do what you think best.
