Re: [Cz-L] 70 years to the expulsion to Transnistria

Hi,
I rarely attend big meetings but this one, I must say, was the most moving
one I ever thought possible. A crowd of such wonderful young, old -older-
oldest people some in wheelchairs, many sticks but THEY WERE THERE!!! and
that was such a moving picture. The speeches were great, I had to leave
before Arzi's daughter's speech, but Lau was, as he always is, with his
beautiful Hebrew and clear voice, most moving. It really was wonderful, such
pity that the hall was too small to take all of us in.
Thanks to this wonderful, caring and loving lady called Irene I Had a
CHAIR!!! inside the auditorium, but, as in all theaters behind (human)
pillars no view but good acoustics. Thank you dearest Irene, what would I
have done without you?!! Thanks again and again.
Hag Sameach,
anny
