Hi all,
For some time Mimi tries to demonstrate and point out the wonderful
character
of the Ukrainean people she encounters.
There is no limit to her admiration : the taxi drivers ,the sculptor,
the people
on the streets . All friendly , helpful and smiling people.
Looking eagerly for any possible attributes to enhance her oppinion.
Now also Bruce joins the ranks , but he can be explained - he wasn't
there in 41.
On the other hand ,for our people - only disdain .
Let us not forget that 1,500,000 Jews were butchered in the Ukraine.
Many mass graves still not discovered.
Many , many thousands butchered by Ukrainean collaborators even
before the Germans came.
A nation of Righteous ?
Have we forgotten ?
Hardy
PS . I can imagine the flak I will attract ,following this mail !
