Re: [Cz-L] Liberation of Czernowitz

Edgar,
  You must not be sorry.
   Memories are memories.
     Good and bad.
     From the war period - mostly bad.
     Without the Soviets no one would have survived.
      But these facts are soon forgotten.
       You only complain of the current evil.
         The Rumanians left, the Germans left and we stayed
     with the Russians , whom we called Fonye Ganev a traditional
     foe of Europe and the western world of which our Cz. was part of.
       On top of this the communist terror rule.
      But if not for the Soviets we would not have made it.
      Shouldnt we be grateful ?
       Edgar , you do a fine job but you cannot change history.

Dear Anny,

I'm really sorry, as I wasn't my intention at all to awaken painful memories
by releasing this video clip under that title, but it is for sure a unique
video document. Thank you for your testimony, which is so essential for our
comprehension. I was in doubt about setting "Liberation" into quotation
marks, but finally I decided not to do so. Notwithstanding all crimes,
persecutions, deportations, etc., without the Red Army probably most of us
wouldn't have survived the Holocaust, or - as me, as a 2nd generation
Czernowitzer - wouldn't have been born to report on that enormously sad
period of time.

Shabbat Shalom!
