Re: [Cz-L] Refreshing memory

Dear all,
We, our memories are of WWII, there is no need to accuse or defend the
second/third generation but the Ukranian history (maybe with exception of
Cz.today) has never been of a people friendly to Jews. I am so glad that
your meetings with them is that laudable. It reminds me while living and
working for 6 years in Zurich you stop being a guest you share daily life
and one day my husband said at a meeting with journalists that we often find
people's attitude pretty antisemitic and his answer was "Never during the
tourist season. No tourist would ever complain of it!!!"
Of course we all speak in generalities. You don't know what most Germans,
Austrians or Ukranians think. Your visits attract tourism and you do and did
a wonderful job for all of us (for which I will for ever be thankful) but
that the Ukarnians, since we heard of them, murdered Jews is also a
historical fact. As for the German Youth, I have nothing but praise, as I
mentioned in the 6 day war, but watching voting in Europe it all goes right,
that might be today's real picture in Europe and what will happen in the
U.S. is a big question mark too. We all can but hope for better times,
Regards,
anny
P.s. Hoping the passes Bruce's scrutiny
