Re: [Cz-L] Generalizing about the Cz Jewish Experience

Hedwig, classification is fine.
  We speak of how the bessere Menschen behaved.
  Of how up the noses were in the air.
   One tells a story how a Bessere meeting a pauper exclaims:

" Nimmt den Mann weg, ich kann mir das Elend nicht ansehen"
" Take him away, I cant look at the misery ! "
