Re: [Cz-L] Yellow Star in Czernowitz

Dear Alfred
 
I read your letter with emotion. It is concise. It explains and ilustrates something that
today many refuse to comprehend that such humiliation was posible.
I vividly remember been beaten wearing this badge.
It is a good reminder to never forget the past and hope it never happens in the future.
A very touching letter.
 
thank you Fred. Weisinger

Subject: [Cz-L] Yellow Star in Czernowitz

The recent correspondence on Cz-L about the Yellow Star prompts me to share
with you a very personal letter I wrote to my son sixteen years ago. I think
it may be of interest to Czernowitzers and their descendents to glean into
the thoughts and emotions of a teenager in Czernowitz at the time of its
worst tragedy and to learn what this symbol came to represent during the
subsequent seven decades of his life.

The letter is posted on

and can also be reached from the Home Page of the Ehpes Menu -> Stories,
Histories...-> Item #37a.
