I do not live in Schlarafen-Land, I do not pretend to myself
or to others that all is well either in Chernivtsi,
or anywhere else in the world. I am also aware of what many villagers
in the vicinity of Czernowitz did to their Jewish neighbors.
I too, neither forgive or forget. But I analyse the known facts objectively
and do not blame those born after 1950 for what their ancestors did in
before they were born.
